What: Alameda Holiday Home Tour
When: 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Dec. 8
Where: Alameda Elks Lodge, 2255 Santa Clara Ave.
Cost: Entry to the gift boutique and gourmet shop is free; tickets for the home tour and dessert tea range from $35-$40 and benefit Alameda Family Services.
For those Islanders in eed of a break from decorating, baking and other activities, the Alameda Family Services League hopes you'll join its 42nd annual Alameda Holiday Home Tour on Dec. 8.
The event benefits Alameda Family Services and includes a gift boutique and gourmet shop, as well as entry to five well-decorated Island residences.
"We are spanning everything from the Victorian era to Mid-Century, including a beach house," said Winkie Campbell-Notar, a volunteer and public relations coordinator for the Alameda Family Services League. "There's almost a century's worth of different architecture in the tour, with lots of different styles and features. People should really enjoy them."
The theme of this year's tour is "42 Years of Holiday Magic." Tickets for the Dec. 8 event range from $35 to $40, and guests can visit all five homes on the tour, four of which are within walking distance of each other, according to Campbell-Notar. They can all enjoy tea, cookies and music at the First Presbyterian Church from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The gift boutique, which will be based at the Alameda Elks Lodge, is open to the public without charge. Baked goods, candies and specialty food items also will be sold at the lodge in the event's gourmet shop.
"It's an eclectic group of homes," Campbell-Notar said. "One home has been completely remodeled to take advantage of its Bay View and deck. It's fantastic!"
Members of the Alameda Family Services League encourage community members to stop by the holiday boutique and gourmet shop. They also hope that — as in past years — 500 Alamedans or more will join the home tour, which includes a shuttle-bus service.
"The boutique will have gift certificates from all over town featuring premium wine, dog-grooming services and a whole lot more," Campbell-Notar said. "We'll also have a silent auction and gourmet shop at the Elks Lodge, which are open to the public."
The mission of Alameda Family Services is "to improve the emotional, psychological and physical health of children, youth and families" at its central Alameda and new facility at Island/BASE High School. Its programs serve several hundred families each year and include Head Start and Early Head Start.
AFS also provides child development and family support services, free medical and mental health services, youth development and health education at school-based health centers, an emergency shelter and support center for runaway, exploited and homeless youth, drug and alcohol treatment for adolescents and adults, and individual, group and family low- or no-fee counseling.

A technique inspired by kangaroos and used mainly in developing countries could save premature babies the world over, say researchers in Colombia.
About 20 million infants are born prematurely each year. Many are put in incubators because they cannot yet regulate their body heat. But in 1978, overcrowding in neonatal wards led a Colombian physician to develop a new therapy to keep the infants warm, modelled on the snug pouches of kangaroos.
In "Kangaroo mother care" an infant is held against their mother or father's bare chest in an upright position for 24 hours a day.
The infant, wearing just a nappy (diaper) and a bonnet, could be held there using traditional cloths or specially manufactured slings, but the constant skin-to-skin contact keeps the baby warm. Typically, babies begin the therapy when they no longer need other medical support and end it when they can regulate their own temperatures at about nine months after conception.
Studies suggest that kangaroo care is as safe and effective as incubator care. They found that the technique improves breastfeeding rates, reduces the severity of infections, and strengthens the bond between parent and child.
Daily checkups
As a result, the simple technique is now used in 25 developing countries. Mothers are trained in the method before leaving the hospital with their infants. They return daily with their babies for checkups and to learn how to breastfeed.
The treatment complements rather than replaces incubators in developed countries. In the UK and US, among other countries, parents usually hold their infants in the kangaroo style for just a couple of hours at a time before putting them back in the incubators.
Now, in an article in the British Medical Journal, Colombian doctors are calling for affluent nations to fully embrace the technique.
"It's at least as good as taking care of babies in incubators," says lead author Juan Gabriel Ruiz-Pelaez, a paediatrician at Javeriana University in Bogota. "And we are convinced it has distinct advantages - especially regarding the emotional aspects of the relationship between mother and infant."
Ruiz-Pelaez says medical personnel may be resistant to the technique because "instead of having a baby carefully scrutinised with alarms and monitors, you go back to something that looks very simple and unreliable - a human body".
Fragile infant
But Neil Marlow, a neonatal physician at Nottingham University in the UK, says in an accompanying commentary that the "baby-sensitive care" could improve contact between parent and child. It could also help develop breastfeeding and lead to shorter hospital stays, he notes.
Ruiz-Pelaez says extended families and communities in developing countries can help ease the burden on mothers of 24-hour kangaroo care. But he says many mothers enjoy the bond they develop with their infants.
"It helps mothers overcome the grief of having delivered a fragile infant," he told New Scientist. "It's a powerful weapon to help the two build a healthy relationship - the infant starts to respond better to the mother and the mother is better able to read the infant's signals."

SHSU prof's book, 'Killing Congress,' details attacks on legislators
By Carol Christian | July 30, 2014
Photo By HANDOUT/KRTA letter sent to Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., is opened at Fort Detrick, Md., on Dec. 5, 2001. The letter had tested positive for anthrax. Another letter with anthrax was sent to Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D.

From being shot down in an airplane to getting anthrax-laced mail, members of the U.S. Congress have encountered danger, and sometimes death, as part of their public service.
A new book by a criminal justice professor at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville takes a detailed look at physical assaults on the nation's legislators over the past 235 years.
"Killing Congress: Assassinations, Attempted Assassinations and Other Violent Acts Against Members of Congress" is co-authored by Willard Oliver of Sam Houston State, and Nancy E. Marion of the University of Akron in Ohio.
As told in the book, seven Congress members have been assassinated since the body began meeting in 1789. The first was Rep. James E. Hinds of Arkansas, who was fatally shot by a Ku Klux Klan member on Oct. 22, 1868, just four months into his term.
The only member of the Texas delegation to be assassinated was Rep. John Pinckney, who was shot to death in 1905 during a political event in Hempstead.
In June 1968, Sen. Robert Kennedy was shot to death while campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination. Sen. Huey Long of Louisiana was killed in 1935 in his home state a month after announcing his candidacy for the presidency.
The most recent killing of a Congress member took place Sept. 1, 1983. Rep. Lawrence McDonald of Georgia was a passenger on a Korean Air Line flight from New York to Seoul when it was shot down by the Soviet military.
Several others have survived attempts on their lives, including Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was critically injured in a point-blank shooting in January 2011.
After she was shot, Giffords and her husband, then-astronaut Mark Kelly, lived part time in League City, while she was treated at TIRR Memorial Hermann.
Other notable attacks against Congress include an anthrax scare in September 2011, when someone mailed deadly anthrax spores to two Democratic senators, Tom Daschle of South Dakota and Tom Leahy of Vermont, as well as several media outlets. The senators were not injured, but five other people died in the incident.
On a less serious note, Sen. John Glenn of Ohio was punched in the face Oct. 25, 1989, during the taping of a television interview.

Dear All,

USAPHC Red Ribbon Week Poster
Why is it important to the Army?
Red Ribbon Week raises awareness and mobilizes communities to combat tobacco, alcohol, and drug use. Army Medical Command officials urge beneficiaries dealing with substance abuse to take advantage of the many available options to prevent and treat substance abuse and disorders.
What programs are available?
Each year the military services promote Red Ribbon Week activities to support efforts to keep service members and their families drug-free. The DOD and Army have developed a number of educational programs to raise awareness of substance abuse and disorders. For example, The Army Substance Abuse Program's Warrior Pride Campaign is a prevention campaign that focuses on the incompatibility of substance abuse with Army Values and the Warrior Ethos.
DOD's "Quit Tobacco. Make Everyone Proud" tobacco cessation campaign is available online to Soldiers and Retirees, their families, Army civilians and contractors. Users can log-on to develop a personalized quitting plan, play games and chat on-line with a cessation counselor. As well, many Army medical treatment facilities offer tobacco cessation programs.The "That Guy" social marketing campaign targets 18-24 year old service members and features the embarrassing social consequences of alcohol abuse.

Letters: North County, March 27, 2013
Junious Montgomery
Reader wants San Diego news
I absolutely hate the North County edition of the U-T San Diego. I have subscribed to the U-T for more than 20 years. If I had wanted "news" about the Escondido Chamber of Commerce, about the Valley Center square dance, etc., I would've subscribed to the North County Times.
But I didn't. I want San Diego news. The new paper has completely missed the mark. I live in Carlsbad. Ideally, I would like news about Carlsbad and San Diego, but I know that can't happen.
I bet most people feel that way about their particular community. We don't care about Podunk neighboring cities, only San Diego. That is where the news is at.
Have the editors forgotten the name of the newspaper? They have foisted this reincarnation of the North County Times on me. I didn't ask for it and I don't like it.
Please, I want the San Diego edition.
And another thing: Do they think that in the 21st century, they could possibly acquire the technology to put the fold of Night+Day somewhere even close to the middle? The editors should be ashamed of this mess that has been going on for years.

Doctors say there are some simple things you can do this summer to keep from having to pay them a visit.
Most people stay out of tight spots like attics, but for Matt Slott of Conway Services, it's where he works.
"If you've ever been in a sauna before, it's pretty much exactly what it is."
Slott installs AC units for a living. He and his co-workers work in stagnate air. Some of the Mid-South attics they work in reach up to 140 degrees.
John Conway of Conway Services says, "We do a lot of training for them to be aware of the problems and be aware of the heat and to make sure they don't put themselves in harm's way."
But you don't have to work in a hot environment to put yourself at risk of getting sick.
"You deplete your hydration with day after day after day of exposure," explains Dr. Mary Ellen McIntire, Doctors Express. She also says the cumulative days of heat can cause nausea, headaches, cramping. "You feel like you can't get a deep breath."
The heat is keeping the urgent care busy. She advises everyone to take care of themselves so they won't feel the impact of the extreme heat.
"Listen to your body. Seek shade. Seek fluids, rest. You must drink enough fluids until your urine is clear."

Simple homemade soilless potting mix
Page Contents
While not often recognized there is a difference between a soil less potting mix and a sterile soil less potting mix. Not all soil less potting mix ingredients are sterile, in fact there are very few amendments that qualify. If your aim is to provide a safe environment for seed raising then the type of potting mix you use is important.
The traditional soilless potting medium was designed as a sterile growing medium, usually sphagnum peat or more recently coconut coir fiber, and is used instead of soil or other similar products, as a soil substitute for growing plants in any contained environment. The purpose of a soilless potting mix is to give more control over soil-borne diseases, contaminates and many other problems that plagues potting mixes containing other materials.
Soil or garden loam comes with a range of problems and are the main reason why over fifty years ago these potting mediums were developed. Young plants, especially seeds and young seedling, that are confined in seed cells and pots are particularly vulnerable to many of these problems.
The boundaries between a soilless mix and a sterile soilless mix are commonly crossed without any thought to what is being done. Many potting mix ingredients, even some of the better ones, are considered soilless but they are not always sterile.
Photo left - Exploring alternative methods and materials is part of the enjoyment of gardening and different potting mix recipes is no exception. When using soil less potting mix ingredients that are not sterile it should be remembered that the problems gardeners had using growing mediums, like compost, soil, wood products, leaf mould and similar ingredients, before the advent of the soilless potting mix will be no less a problem today. There is always an element of risk, when adding these ingredients to a potting mix and they will need to be treated differently to the traditional sterile soilless ingredients. Follow this link for more on what's what with potting mix ingredientsMouse over image to enlarge.
For those new to seed raising the safer approach is to use traditional sterile soilless potting medium or at least use them for a portion of the seedlings being raised while experimenting with alternative ingredients. With the proper care either method will produce the desired results.
You cant talk about soilless mixes without including some of the many pre made seed starting pellets and blocks.
Photo Left One - Growing seedlings using sphagnum peat pellets are an excellent way for a novice or someone with limited time and space to raise their own seedlings. Mouse over image to enlarge.
Photo Left Two - Young Radicchio seedlings - These pre-made compressed seed starting pellets are independently wrapped to retain the soil making them easily moved around without disturbing the seedling. Mouse over image to enlarge.
A bio sponge is plug of sterile medium with a hole in top made for germinating one seed, there are a number of different sizes
Photo Right - They are excellent for maintaining aeration and water retention, and as seen here allow the roots to freely penetrate the sponge.Mouse over image to enlarge.
Growing seedlings using coconut coir fiber pellets is similar to using sphagnum peat pellets. Simply add water, watch them swell, and sow your seed.
Photo left - Coir pellets are held together with either bio-degradable netting or some with paper wrap which will not fall apart but still allow the roots to penetrate the sides. Mouse over image to enlarge.
It is not a simple job buying a soilless potting mix. It can be confusing picking out a bag of soilless potting mix from the many different types and labeling used. Unfortunately very few potting mix labels will contain the words "soilless" or even "soil less".
The best a gardener can do when looking for the product they want is to properly read and assess the label or list of contents. Knowing what each ingredient in a potting medium is and how it acts and affect the potting mix is helpful. For more details on many of the ingredients common to potting mixes follow this link potting mix ingredients.
When looking for a potting medium for starting seeds, ensure the packaging stipulates for starting or germinating seed.

THIS week, Britain's official inquiry into the BSE epidemic releases its verdict. But as Britain analyses its mistakes, France may be repeating them.
While there has been a dramatic increase in French BSE cases reported this year, tests on cattle show the true number may be far higher. Meanwhile, up to five people in France have already succumbed to vCJD, the human form of BSE.
So far this year, France has had 48 confirmed cases of mad cow disease. But last year the European Union told member states to test for BSE in cattle not visibly ill with the disease, to see how much unsuspected infection might be circulating.
France has started testing high-risk cattle found dead or destroyed for other reasons. "Because of the low number of clinical cases, they expected to find only one or two infected in 40,000 tests," says Markus Moser of Prionics, the Zurich-based company ...

Real Solutions: Prepare Your Garden for Winter
Your local garden center was correct in recommending plants with root systems that will survive Boston's normal winter temperatures in above-ground pots. Although their tops are plenty hardy, the roots of the types you lost are susceptible to cold damage and need warmer in-ground protection in this region.
Even when you use plants that tolerate cold root conditions, it's important to maintain proper soil moisture around those roots. Continue watering your pots and planters right up until they freeze; then check and adjust moisture during winter thaws so that they never dry out. Protecting your plants over the winter from drying winds and late-winter sun is also a good idea; try grouping your pots together close to the building.
Potted plants also need supplemental treatments to replace nutrients that become depleted as water passes through the containers. Right now or next spring, apply an organic or slow-release fertilizer to help maintain healthy tops and roots.
We've just planted some trees, shrubs, and perennials around our home this fall, and we want to make sure they're healthy after the winter. Is late autumn a good time to mulch? If so, how much mulch should we use? — J.K., Boothbay, ME
Mulches help conserve moisture, discourage weed growth, moderate soil temperatures, and look attractive. Particularly with new plantings heading into winter, it's a good idea to add plenty of mulch for another reason: reduction of the freeze/thaw cycle that causes "frost heaving," a potential danger where roots are still becoming established.
Be sure your soil is adequately moist; then apply mulch 3 to 4 inches deep around the root zones of your plants for the winter. Remember, though, come spring it's just as important at that time to pull thick mulch back and away from trunks and stems to expose the root flare — where the stems and roots connect — to the air.

Senior Tara DeMuth celebrated her final home meet as a Ram on Wednesday. CSU defeated Northern Colorado, 145-98.
Jan. 30, 2013
Final Stats
By Sarah Thomsen
Athletic Media Relations
FORT COLLINS, Colo.—The Rams rumbled Moby Pool Wednesday with cheers over their first win of the 2012-13 season, as Colorado State defeated Northern Colorado, 145-98, on Senior Night.
CSU's 10 graduating seniors were honored during the meet for their outstanding achievements during their careers as Rams.
From the first splash in the pool, the Rams were ready to bring the heat. Anchored by senior Breann Fuller, the Rams easily took first place in the 200 Medley Relay. Senior Mary Foster then continued the Rams' momentum with a win in the 100 Freestyle. Yana Garvey then cinched the third straight first-place finish, edging UNC's Erika Etz by 12-hundredths of a second in the 200 Freestyle.
"Considering the point in the season we're at—the heavy training and weight lifting—I was pretty impressed with some of the swims," Head Coach Christopher Woodard said. "We're not where we want to be time wise, but there was definitely a lot of fight, so it was good."
Powered by senior Arianne Lujan—who was unbeatable in the three events she swam in—CSU remained out in front the entire meet. After winning the 200 Medley Relay, Lujan claimed first in the 200 IM and the 200 Butterfly.
The Rams were especially impressive on the boards. Ariana Milone proved she's back from the hand injury that took her away from competition for 11 weeks with a convincing win in 3-Meter Diving. Milone climbed 15.53 points ahead of UNC's second-place finisher Sara Moldenhauer.
Mary Kate Hardy punctuated CSU's sweep of the diving events with her win on the 1-Meter boards. Milone followed Hardy into second place with 248.50 points.
Fuller broadened the lead with her wins in the 200 Backstroke and 200 Freestyle Relay. In her five years as a Ram, Fuller has made huge contributions to the swimming team as a talented athlete, record holder and humble leader. In her final night competing in Moby Pool, Fuller continued to prove why she is CSU's top athlete.
"Tonight was an exciting night for all of us," Fuller said. "It was good to get the win, but it felt especially good for the seniors. Hopefully this will give us some momentum for the final couple weeks of the season. These last five years at CSU have been incredible. I can't say enough about my experience."
CSU's 10 seniors who were recognized on Wednesday include: Tara DeMuth, Tasia DeMuth, Foster, Fuller, Chelea Kelly, Lujan, Kelly Mathews, Madeline Mitchell, Shelley Perkins and Lydia Templin.
"Even though I've only had them for a year-and-a-half, I've grown pretty attached to them pretty quickly," Woodard said. "They had to come in halfway through their collegiate careers and basically everything was really turned upside down. We asked them to buy in and do a bunch of things that they might not have been comfortable doing, and they responded really well. I hope to have a bond with them long after graduation."
The seniors still have one more opportunity to swim in a dual meet before the season is complete. The Rams have a quick turnaround for their final meet, as they take on the Air Force Falcons Saturday in Colorado Springs. The meet begins at 1 p.m. MT at Cadet Natatorium.
"It's always tough to go down to the Springs and swim at 7,200 feet," Woodard said. "That being said, it doesn't really matter. It's a 16-event format, so we're going to have all of our kids having every opportunity to swim those last prep sessions before we go to Conference. I'm looking forward to it."
While the Rams are facing the Falcons on Saturday, they have their ultimate challenge of the season in the horizon. The Mountain West Championship will be the final test of this season's talent. In San Antonio, Texas, the Rams will battle their most fierce conference rivals from Feb. 20-23. CSU has proven itself to be a strong taper team this season, and with the adequate time to train and recover, the Rams should offer a few pleasant surprises
"Our goal early in the year was to be in the top five, and we've lost a lot of kids along the way to injury, illness or other factors," Woodard said. "It's definitely depleted the top end and our depth, but I'm confident enough in what I've got that I still think we can challenge for the top five. I'm eager to fly out to San Antonio."

Jim Norman proposes rebate checks for citizens
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday | Listen to this entire show:
As the Tampa Bay region continues to be one of the worst in the country in terms of unemployment rates, last night Hillsborough County Commissioner Jim Norman proposed giving relief to county taxpayers in the form of economic stimulus checks.
Norman, who says he has been working on such a proposal for about three weeks, unveiled his idea during a public hearing on the countyâs 2009 fiscal year budget last night. WMNF asked him where the money would come from.
County Commissioner Ken Hagen, who won the support of his fellow Commissioners to spend $500 million dollars in sales tax money on roads, expressed skepticism about the idea, saying the county already has more than $2 billion in unfunded road projects.
County Budget Director Eric Johnson told the board last night heâs not certain if such a plan will fly, but will research the issue and get back to the board within the next week.comments powered by Disqus

Many people firmly consider themselves "cat people," while many others faithfully belong to the "dog people" camp. Are you one or the other? Do you think that there are personality traits that predispose certain types of people to make better companions to either felines or canines?
It certainly is true that cats and dogs have different needs and that individuals within those species vary markedly in their behavior. If they weren't so unique, why would we haul out the pictures and regale anyone willing to listen with the latest "fascinating" activities of our beloved animal companions?
And having spent decades helping to make permanent matches between people and rescued dogs and cats, I do believe that there are some personal characteristics that might help somebody decide whether to look in the cat rooms or the dog kennels first.
If you've ever looked out your window to see a letter carrier in a severe storm and thought, "That pledge of 'no rain or sleet or snow' is not for me," you shouldn't have a dog. After all, letter carriers only have to walk once a day, and they get Sundays off (no comments about possible cutbacks in delivery days, please). If you live with dogs, you really owe it to them to go for a walk at least twice a day-four times, if you do not have a yard that you can let them out in for a quick leg-lift!-every single day (or drive to an off-leash, fenced-in dog park for a run!). That's no piece of cake during unappealing weather conditions.
A cat guardian can simply snuggle down with his or her feline pal(s) and read a book, knowing that the indoor litterboxes are easily accessible 24 hours a day (and should be scooped at least twice a day, of course). But that doesn't let friends of felines off the hook for exercise and entertainment. If you are the sort who would prefer video games (or better yet, video game development) to the great outdoors, you would probably make a perfect "director of kitty games" for your household. This is a very important position.
While dogs also enjoy new games (especially certain breeds who need "jobs" in order to be happy), cats really enjoy a much more varied lineup of entertainment. Surely you've been humiliated at some point by the sight of a bored yawn on a beautiful cat face that was clearly sending the message, "Hey, that string with the fake feather on it was great yesterday, but how about something different today, please?"
You really have to vary the options for cats: a paper bag with a sparkle ball, a cardboard-box tunnel, a noisy ball, a bird video, scratching posts, etc. Vary those offerings if you want purrs and not bored stares. You signed a 20-year (or so) contract the minute you opened your home to a young cat, so keep those creative juices flowing.
Of course, I find this cat-versus-dog thing to be nonsense. I'm for cats and for dogs, and a mixed household is the best. It will put every one of your interests, skills, and talents to use keeping your animal companions happy.
What's your opinion? What human characteristics do you think might indicate that somebody will value feline companionship over dog companionship or vice versa?

Tamale — The Northern Regional Chairman of the Association of Small-Scale Industries (ASSI), Mr. Saeed Abdul-Moomen, has called for strong collaboration between the association and the various metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies (MMDAs), to ensure effective internal revenue mobilisation.
There has been growing hostility between the small scale enterprises and revenue collectors of the MMDAs, which is negatively affecting revenue mobilisation in the various communities in the Northern Region.
A research conducted by the Association of Small Scale Industries in the Northern Region, attributed this unfriendly relationship to the lack of a representation of the small scale enterprises in the decision-making processes of the assemblies.
The research, financed by the BUSAC Fund, sought to identify the extent to which private sector operators were involved in decisions that affect their businesses at the various assemblies in the region.
To reverse the trend, Mr. Saeed Abdul-Moomen, at a press briefing in Tamale on the findings of the research, recommended the establishment of Private Sector Desks in all assemblies to serve as a liaison between the two stakeholders.
He observed that the assemblies could win the confidence of the ASSI members in honouring their tax obligations without any ill feelings, to drastically increase their revenue mobilisation, if all fee fixings were well discussed between the two parties.
