Is it possible to ovulate a few days before my period starts?
I read about people ovulating 14 days after they start their periods if they have a 28 day lapse in between periods. After reading the signs to know when im ovulating i feel i ovulate just like 2 days before i start my period. Is this possible?

i ovulated and conceived 3 day before i thought my period was due. my Ultrasound scan confirmed that for the number of weeks gestation i conceived around june2nd and my period was due june 5th.!posted 08/18/2012 by betty1234567
I normally get eggwhite cervical fluid a couple days before I start my period too, but I also get it about 13 days before i start my period too. Ovulation is also accompanied by ovulatory pain (sometimes) and a temperature spike the day after the egg is released. You should take the time to read Taking Charge of Your Fertility to find out more about ovulation signs and what to look for. Good luck!posted 06/08/2011 by jessifreehugs
I ovulated the day before I was supposed to start my period now I'm waiting for my periodposted 04/11/2015 by a BabyCenter Member
Me & My BF last had sex on September 5th. BUT we also had sex on July 9th, 13th, 16th, 23rd. Then August 3rd & 5th. All these times being unprotected. He came in me all those times. But then like the 7th or somewhere around there...I had my period. But Then I had unprotected sex August 31st & September 5th. He came those times to. But now no period. I have been having a hard time eating anything. NOTHING sounds good to me. When I do eat, I can only eat very little because it makes me feel sick & full/tired of it almost immediately. I haven't puked. But I have felt somewhat puky. I have been waking up at night really hot & broken out in a sweat. My body temperature is out of control. I'm hot then cold. A few days ago I was sick. Not puking sick. Just really tired & weak. & when i'd get up and walk I felt worse. Laying down was the one thing that helped the most. It wasn't a sickness that required medicine. I have no idea what it was. But now I still haven't had my period. Could I be?posted 09/11/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
I had a baby in Feb 2013 (2nd child). My 1st period after the birth was in July. 2nd period was in August. 3rd period SHOULD have been Sept 8th. However, nothing yet and it's the 11th...EXCEPT A POSITIVE PREGNANCY TEST! I did not have sex during my typical ovulation period (10 days after period). Instead, we had sex (be it unsafe) 2 days before I was SUPPOSED to start (that would have been the 6th). I know all about the 'medical' terms and 'medical' stuff, but is it possible to have conceived literally 5 days ago from right now, 2 days before my period start date, and get a FALSE positive???? My DH is going to DIE if this is really happening right now...lol!posted 09/11/2013 by hb1stbaby
My periods are never short, and they are anywhwere from 28 to 31 days apart. But I notice that about 2 days before my period i have the "raw egg white" looking discharge which from what i have read is a sign of ovulating? Im confused and dont know what to think.posted 06/07/2011 by KDYA
No, not unless you have REALLY short periods, its not possible. If you have a cycle that is close to the 28 average span, then it takes that 14 day period from when you ovulate for you to experience a regular period. Symptoms of a period are very similar to ovulation, so you are just experiencing regular menstruation symptoms.posted 06/07/2011 by peanutwitt
you ovulate 14 days BEFORE your period starts, not after.posted 06/14/2011 by MrsCrow3

The Telework Enhancement Act of 2010 (Act) was signed into law on December 9, 2010. The passage and signing of this legislation (Public Law 111-292) was a significant milestone in the history of Federal telework. The Act is a key factor in the Federal Government's ability to achieve greater flexibility in managing its workforce through the use of telework. Well-established and implemented telework programs provide agencies a valuable tool to meet mission objectives while helping employees enhance work/life effectiveness. Specifically, telework: 1) is a useful strategy to improve Continuity of Operations to help ensure that essential Federal functions continue during emergency situations; 2) promotes management effectiveness when telework is used to target reductions in management costs and environmental impact and transit costs; and 3) enhances work-life balance, i.e., telework allows employees to better manage their work and family obligations, retaining a more resilient Federal workforce able to better meet agency goals.
The law specifies roles and responsibilities for the Office of Personnel Management, General Services Administration, Office of Management and Budget, Department of Homeland Security, National Archives and Records Administration, and others, to provide overall guidance to Federal Executive agencies, creating baseline expectations for agency programs and helping agencies implement those programs as effectively as possible.
This segment of the website highlights key elements of the Act and offers practical information of interest to agencies, teleworking employees, managers and supervisors of teleworkers, Telework Managing Officers, telework coordinators and the general public.

Maye they could get all those screwballs who speak in tongues and handle the creatures to help round them up where there is an overpopulation. After all, the almighty protects them from bites, right?
I agree that Richardson is a pompous know it all but let's face it, for the past 20 years the number of administrators working downtown would rival cities ten time larger than Birmingham. All with their three piece suits, fancy briefcases marching in to their six figure jobs that are absolutely not needed. The party is over!
You should consider seeking some professional help to deal with your anger and obsession with labels, it might improve your mental and physical health. You certainly seem to have some real issues.
The tears thata were shed in Lee County when it was announced that Saban was coming to UA probably set records that will never be matched.
Where is the outrage from the national media as is the case with Travon Martin? Of course we all know the answer to that. One thing for sure Jessse and Al will not be flying down on a private jet to march for "justice."
It is interesting that the national media, especially, ABC, has suddenly downplayed this story, spending very little time reporting about it this morning. If he had been defeated and removed from office I suspect that it would have been the lead story, taking up most of the morning news. Speaks volumes about their liberal bias.
There must be the gnashing of teeth in the prosecutors office as they will be unable to get the publictiy and limelight that motivated them to try to bring him here right away. Guess they will have to find another high profile case to get their mugs on TV.
And now we have a group of xenophobic, right wing religious nuts in charge! This barbaric "lock 'me up and throw the key away" philosophy just makes Alabama look more foolish and backward.
I have no use for the guy but he is the victim of over zealous right wing prosecutors/courts and did nothing that countless other Alabama politicians have done throughout the years. Just another example of why this country is the leader among industrialized countries when it comes to the number locked up. Sad commentary.
He simply did not have the guts to sign it as he knows the xenophobic hack politicians responsible for it would crucify him in the media. I have lost all respect for him; Riley was ten times better than this guy.
Riduclous response. Nobody said anything about, "treating them great", instead anyone with a grain of sense should know that barbaric conditions, which exist in Alabama prisons, just makes the public less safe because these prisoners, when released are bitter, desperate and much more likely to reoffend.
I read that a society should be judged on how it treats it's prisoners and that seems reasonable. Alabama spends less money than any other state and pays the price. Elected officials are to afraid they will be accused of pandering to prisoners and lose their job. They don't care that the conditions are inhumane and that this just means more repeat offenders. A sad and vicious cycle stupid politicians perpetuate.
Has any state ever had as many incompetent, dumb politicians as Alabama? Unlikely. As long as we elect people like Rogers, Beason, Roy Moore, Bentley to office Alabama is going to continue to be one of the more backward, poorly run in the country. A real shame as there are many intelligent, innovative individuals that live here that have the capability of lifting us up out of the mess we are in now.
The state is at a "critical juncture" as long as people continue to elect reactionary, ultra right wing, xenophobic, arm waving, bible thumpers like Moore and Beason to office. It is a toss up as to which one is the biggest embarrassment. We are beginning to make Mississippi look progressive.
Unless his son bigins to win soon at Tennessee he might be forced to reestablish the family there. Or, even worse, move to Auburn, Al.
Just another example of the political correctness nonsense in this country. The principal is the one that should be sent home.
The guy was a great player; sad that the fringe element in Lee County makes light of a tragedy. But, not unexpected.
Yet another example of the extreme right wing, bible thumping, arm waving fring element trying to tell people how to live their life and what they can or cannot do with their body. Why can't the A;abama legislature address the real problems facing this state? Pretty sad.
As a former administrator it amazes me the way principals are put in impossible situations due to some ridiculous policies school boards seem to think are so important. Why does it matter? It reminds me back in the 70's when the length of a boy's hair was the issue. My standard response when asked about it was, "I am more concerned with what goes in their heads than what it on top of it." These policy makers need to join the 21st century.

Mine has more blue than this picture online, but it looks better. The color and style is nice and it is a good summer top. I just wish the fabric wasn't so thin and for this it should have been half the price! Bebe can do better and is getting too pricey for garments like this! So 3/5 stars from me. May 22, 2014

LEWISBURG—In Lewisburg, it was a pretty good night for a picnic.
"It's nice that we can just hang out and yeah, we're happy to be here," said Tasha Hall of Lewisburg.
"It's nice to be part of a community and see, yeah, see a lot of friendly faces," agreed Matt Lamparter of Lewisburg.
At Soldiers Memorial Park, overlooking the Susquehanna River, there were picnickers and food trucks Thursday night.
The event was organized by the Lewisburg Downtown and Neighborhoods organizations as an effort to get people to recognize the park and river and all they have to offer.
"We want to bring people who already know and love the river together because there's not really one group in this area for that and we also want to introduce new people to this amenity that would would not be blamed that you didn't know was here because you can't see it through the trees," said Samantha Pearson of Lewisburg Neighborhoods Corporation.
Some people thought the picnic was a great idea.
"A lot of the shops are situated close to the highway and this part of town is beautiful, but there's not as much foot traffic so if people are made more aware that this is something they can utilize and a space they can you know whatever they want to do, it would be great, for the town in general," said Noah Deibler-Gorman of Lewisburg.
Organizers were pleased with the turnout of the first picnic and said they are already talking about doing more.

|Centro San Juan Diego in the News
Denver Catholic Register - December 9, 2009
"Especially," he said, "for those who see themselves working and developing their careers around the Catholic Church."
The program, Lara said, is a dream made reality.
"We discussed the possibility with a few universities in various foreign countries and in the process we discovered Anáhuac University, which is one of the best private universities in Mexico," Lara said. "Anáhuac University is faithful to the Church and the teachings of the magisterium."
The distance learning opportunity, Lara said, is a five-year program.
Colorado Springs resident Octavio Pérez, who was born in Mexico City, said it's important for Hispanic ministry to respond to the needs of those eager to work in evangelization. Pérez said he believes the program will draw those who have an apostolate to service "that reflects the love of God for the immigrant community."

When starting a sewing business, a sewing business plan is key…. but first.
When contemplating starting a sewing business, first ask yourself if you have the personality to run a business, how much self-discipline do you have? There is a big difference between working for oneself and working for someone else. When we work for someone else, then the load of the business is shared by our fellow employees. However, when we work for ourselves, the load is all ours! Do you have the temperament to be all things to everyone?
Well if you do, then the next step is to create a plan.
What is a business plan?
According to Wikipedia, it is a formal statement of a set of business goals, why they are believed to be attainable, and most importantly, the plan for reaching those goals. The plan may also contain some background information about the business.
What should the plan include?
A typical plan should include:
• A cover page and table of contents
• An executive summary
• A description of the business
• An analysis of the business environment
• Background on the industry
• A competitive analysis
• A market analysis
• A marketing plan
• An operations plan
• A management summary
• A financial plan
• Some attachments and milestones
Why is a plan important?
A plan is key to getting financing for your business, such as a small business loan.
For more information on the plan and some plan templates and instructions, a good site to help you write a plan for your sewing business is
greatbusinessplans.com for a sewing business plan
A good site for some
free business plan software is planware.org
Without a good comprehensive plan you can miss out on what might be some much needed financing. So, it is important not to skip this step, especially if you are serious about setting up a sewing business of any type.

The Kind of September
The other day, I handed in my manuscript for The Virgin Cure. There's still much to be done in the year before publication, but now the work becomes a collaborative effort with other voices and talents entering into the process. It's an exciting time, full of possibility.
So, it's seven days into September and this one's been lovely and good so far. And that's important - because I've had at least a couple of Septembers that have left me wrecked. One in the late 90's that ended in a personal upheaval of the heart and of course September of 2001 when I was, like the rest of the world, left fearful and lost.
Last year at this time I was in New York City, hoping to figure out what was missing from the story I was trying to tell in The Virgin Cure. I logged many hours at the library of the New York Historical Society (one of my favourite places on the planet!) I walked through the Metropolitan Museum of Art with my budding artist of a son, both of us awestruck over the J.M.W. Turner exhibit. I spent a beautiful evening with the NYC Buddhist community and people of all faiths setting lanterns afloat at the water's edge.
Then, I walked the streets and sidewalks that had once been travelled by my great great grandmother in her work as a medical student and physician in the late 1800's. As I went, I did my best to conjure up the memory of the women and children she served. I stood on Second Avenue, staring at the place where the Blackwell sister's infirmary once was. I went to Third Avenue and Thirteenth Street, to see where Peter Stuyvesant's great pear tree had lived for over 200 years. In those steps, on those streets that day I found my answer. I found the voice I'd been waiting for, the voice of my story, the voice of a little girl who wanted to become New York.

Here's to a wonderful September and finding voices to tell our stories:)
September is a special month... the weather's often at its clearest, and there's the element of possibility, of new challenges and changes. Now, of course, there is the shock and sadness of Sept. 11

I love this post with its reference to finding a voice to your story. That phrase is just so striking for me as a writer. Thank-you.
- Oma said...
You post so seldom ... but each one is precious when it arrives. Thank you ... and I am so glad that you have finished the ms for the new novel so that we can all read what has absorbed you. And thank you for sharing the things that move you, the things that inspire your writing ... such as finding the voice. I am just now discovering that art can lead the way to writing and to the voice ...
- meli-mello said...
Your next novel sounds fascinating. I'm really looking forward to diving into it.
I have to say, September has always been my favourite month: the weather, the leaves, the anticipation of things to come. Even without going to school everyday I feel like I am always waiting for September. I'm glad you are having a good one.

Welcome to ROOT, Caliber!
Thank you! I'm happy to have found such a good home after LighT died. ROOT is extremely talented and I am excited to play under their tag.
We're happy to have you. For all fans of Caliber, new and old, we'll kick things off with a few quick trivia questions. Firstly, who is your favorite personality from the StarCraft universe?
I am actually not much of a StarCraft player to be honest. Growing up I never played StarCraft or StarCraft: Brood War. Rather, I played Command & Conquer, Red Alert and Warcraft.
If I had to answer, I would say Nova, because she is a cutie pie.
She is indeed. How has your week been so far with the Heart of the Swarm Launch? Did you do anything interesting?
Today, the 13th, I went to a local Microsoft Store HotS release tournament and took 1st, winning $75 and some other swag provided there. Besides this, I got my account into Masters after going 20-5. I will probably play the campaign over Spring break once my finals are done.
Congratulations! So can we tell everyone you're the first official HotS tournament winner?
Thanks! Haha, no, silly. The tournament would have to be full of pros to be considered a real tournament. This one just had a few local NA GMs.
Any notable names?
The best players are Aiur and CCalms, two low GM Protoss players. Besides that, just a bunch of high Master patch-zergs from my CSL team - University of Washington.
OK, time to get serious. What are your thoughts on ROOT Gaming compared to other teams around the world?
ROOT has always been a strong team; however, their recent win over FXO KR in IPTL really caught my attention. Beating FXO, who just won two GSTLs, is no small feat. Our roster is really strong and well-rounded, albeit a little Protoss heavy. We are easily one of the best foreign teams and we are definitely capable of competing with Korean teams.
Is there anything in particular that you think sets ROOT apart from others, or do the results speak for themselves?
The results speak for themselves, although, the team chemistry seems really strong on ROOT. I believe this sets ROOT apart from other teams around the world. Despite the fact that there is no team house, ROOT has this feeling of being a family. Confirmed bros.
Who is your favorite player on ROOT, and why?
Favorite? Tough call. CatZ is pretty cool. He gave me some money so I could get a cab to the airport at IPL5 after I lost my cash gambling.
He sure is a great guy. Will you be sticking with Protoss for competitive Heart of the Swarm?
Most likely. I will still dabble with random, so if I feel like changing to the flavor the week that could be a possibility.
What is your view on the new units?
The Oracle is really annoying. Goswser owned me with Swarm Hosts. I thought Swarm Hosts were overpowered at first, but they are manageable.
And what are your plans and goals for competitive StarCraft for 2013?
My plans and goals for 2013 are to become more well-known. I have one year left in university and have decided that travelling to events will be less of a concern for me than in 2012. I understand that playing part-time will prevent me from ever winning a major tournament. With that being said, I want to focus on the personal aspects of competitive StarCraft. In other words, I want to focus more on the following: my skill level, improving my mechanics, obtaining a good mindset, and streaming. I think streaming would be a fun way to practice StarCraft, something not so boring. Hopefully I can provide an entertaining stream and gain a following.
We've all seen firsthand the impacts that the streaming revolution has had on competitive gaming, and it's definitely opened up avenues for players to interact with the community and build a fan base. What are you studying at university?
I am majoring in Philosophy and minoring in Classics.
How did you become interested in that area of study?
I suppose I just enjoyed thinking about things in a very detailed way ever since I was younger. I always questioned things and thought about the meaning of life, beauty, etc.
Has it impacted on your gaming career at all?
Interesting question. I do not think it has directly influenced anything, but I do 'think' about the game more than I practice it. For most of my matches, I just sit there and visualize how the game will go, as opposed to grinding out a specific build. Everything I do is freestyled.
I personally have always admired players who have the ability to play that way at a high level. Now for something completely different, how did you pick the alias 'Caliber'?
When I was young, my mother decorated my room and the only creative space I could have was this cork board on the wall. I would cut out pictures from video game magazines and post them on the board. When I was trying to find a gamer tag for Xbox Live I looked over at my board and saw a cool Soul Calibur poster. Despite the fact I had never played that game, I decided to go with the name. It was taken, so I used 'Calabur'. Eventually, it turned in to Caliber in SC2.
It definitely has a solid ring to it. Are you going to stick with it forever?
Definitely for now. I dislike the fact that it is a common English word, but I have had it for so long it is kind of sentimental. Maybe someday I will change it to something more "me".
Haha, you're probably not the only Caliber playing games on the internet, but certainly the most famous. It's certainly been a pleasure to talk with you, Patrick, so I'd like to thank you for your time! Have you got anything else you'd like to say?
I would like to thank everyone for reading this interview, ROOT for picking me up, and all of our sponsors for supporting e-sports – DAS Keyboards, Rush Order Tees, AverMedia and Twitch!

You can also find it, along with our other players' streams, over in The Burrow, or on the ROOT Gaming Twitch Team Page.

It's not enough for North Hollywood High School Principal Randall Delling. He is a man who wants more. He expects it of himself, his faculty and his staff -- and his students, who return to school on Wednesday.
North Hollywood High School recently landed in the national spotlight by earning a Washington Post ranking in the top 1 percent of schools in the nation to prepare its students for college.
His students are scoring well on the California Standardized Tests with a rating of over 750 this past year, up more than 40 points from the previous year. In fact, the scores earned his school a friendly victory over Van Nuys High, and now that school's principal must dress up as North Hollywood High's Huskie mascot at an upcoming varsity football game.
Nearly 40 percent of his students make it into college, and not just the students in the school's magnet programs for the advanced sciences. With Project Step-Up, middle school students from families who have never been to college are groomed for it before they ever reach North Hollywood High.
Delling was named the California Secondary Principal of the Year by the Association of California School Administrators. Later this month he will attend a Washington, DC, conference with award recipients from around the country.
But all of that isn't enough for him.
"I'm not satisfied," Delling said. "We need another 43 points" on the standardized tests, he said.
When he goes to Washington to represent his school's achievements, people are likely to hear some straight talk from the former drill sergeant. Delling, who rides a Harley Davidson motorcycle, has a lot to say about standardized tests and college preparation.
"The whole measurement system is corrupt," Delling said of standardized tests. "It can fit assembly lines, but we're not producing bottle caps. We're developing human minds."
There are numerous problems with the tests, he said. By law, parents don't have to force their children to take the exam. Yet principals have to get 9 percent of their students to take it. Students say there isn't any incentive for them to do well.
"I ask students why they do so poorly and they say, 'It doesn't count for class grade, graduation or college admissions,'" Delling said.

I'd give it an 8, great ghost story, good characters. It was hard to get into but once you give it a chance it is very good.
Solid 9.5. But that said it took me 2 reads to really get it and a third before I was able to really appreciate the fine ghost story it is.
Thankyou for all the input. I think I will indeed retry it at some point, and as someone mentioned also, I will retry Under The Dome, as my dad read it and said once you get into it it is very good!
I'm a little late, but after my first read, I would have given a it a 7 and after my second read a 9. So... A solid 8. Not one of my very favorites, but still a very good read.
And it's got a beat and you can dance to it. Thanks gnt! Stole your liner. :smile2:
I loved Bag of Bones, it's definitely in my top 5 (assuming I can lump the Dark Tower in as 1). It definitely had a different feel, but to me, it totally worked. Under the Dome is one of my favourites, I hope you give it another shot!
I did something similar but when I returned to it, I enjoyed it very much and was glad I finished it. Persevere!
Bag of Bones is one of Mr. King's most literary works (however you choose to define the term). It's a gothic tale--old house, family secrets, ghosts, revenge--but it also touches on a larger, almost Lovecraftian, mythos. It isn't a fast-paced story with a flamboyant monster like Christine or IT; it's a subtle, more introspective take on the classic ghost story, with a tone often reminiscent of The Reach.
I liked this one very much.
It's hard for me to say if it was one of his bests but it was good. The love story between Noonan and Mattie Devore wasn't really over the top and didn't give it too much of a "Sparks" feel in my opinion.
The story of Sara Tidwell almost had me thinking I was reading something set in the New Orleans area for some reason.
Brosnan as Michael Noonan seems an odd choice but everyone envisions their own characters when they read. Will make it a point to see the film.
Tom Noonan to play Mike Noonan... that would have been a rip!

My family appreciates the work the Global V.C.F. is doing all around.
To see this foundation helping out with the woes of millions of people thru their food donations, shelter for refugees is simply tremendous.
Nice work, Barry and his Global village network. THis charity is commendable and gets my vote. COntinue your charitable journey Mr. B. and good health to you Sir.
More than a billion served! Sounds like McDonalds, the only difference is that the Global villagers give their food away. Touche, touche.

Bacchetta, Gianluigi - Fenu, Giuseppe - Mattana, Efisio - Meloni, Francesca (2007) Conservazione ex situ e in situ della biodiversità vegetale dell'Area Marina Protetta di Capo Carbonara (Sardegna sud-orientale). Fitosociologia, 44 (1). pp. 157-164. ISSN 1125-9078
The first results of the project "Plant Biodiversity Conservation in the Protected Marine Area of Capo Carbonara (PMA)" are illustrated. This initiative, promoted by the CCB and the Municipality of Villasimius (CA), was funded for three-year period (2005/07) by the Ministry of the Environment and Territory protection. The project provides the study, monitoring and conservation of the coastal habitat, principally on all the Sites of Communitary Importance (pSIC) of the Villasimius Municipality territory, in order to plan a harmonic development between coastal and sea areas unifying the environmental protection secured by the PMA with that relatives to the Natura 2000 network. During the first year there were started ecological, floristic-sociological and chorological studies, in order to value the actual state of conservation and have a possibility to propose adequate measures for a sustainable management. In order to guarantee the effective plant biodiversity conservation, the following ex situ actions have been made: collection, study and conservation for a long time of the seed of selected species in the structures of the Sardinian Seed Bank (BG-SAR), according to international procedures and protocols. At the end of the first year the seed harvest was completed relatively to all the species with a greater risk of extinction. The project provides also actions directed to sensitize the population, local and non, on the thematics of the conservation and the sustainable development of the territory.

This could be used as a last-minute fancy-dress idea, turning a flag into a national t-shirt, or a flowery table-cloth into a hippy top.
- Kiteman
I have to credit Kiteman with the idea. Unfortunately, he did not have the time to do the ible himself, and so passed his idea on.
Simply put, this is a Labot interpretation of the work of genius.
Step 1: Materials
- Some material
- Scissors
- Staples, glue, or safety pins (I used staples)
Step 2: First Cuts...
2. If your material is large enough, just cut out a T-Shirt shape. If not (like mine), then cut a bit off the top to make sleeves out of later.
3. Hold up the remaining material against you to estimate how much material you'll need to make a shirt. Cut off any extra material.
Step 3: Making the Sleeves & Neck
2. Using your scrap material, cut out two sleeves. You'll need to cut out two separate squares for each sleeve, for a total of four squares. You can hold them up to your arms for a good estimate.
3. Hold the sleeves up to your material and cut out holes of appropriate sizes for the sleeves.
Step 4: Tying it All Together
2. Staple up the rest of the shirt, making sure to leave holes for the neck, arms, and bottom of shirt.
3. Put on your shirt. Walk around, attracting stares of disbelief, wonder, and adoration. Allow others to bask in your awesomeness.
As always, good luck and have fun!
~ Labot
Although why you'd want to wear a t-shirt in such weather is beyond me.
And it looks a lot better than it did in my head!
Nice job, Labot!

On March 4th, the new Wrangell SEARHC office hosted an open house for beneficiaries and all Wrangell community members to drop in, enjoy traditional refreshments and conversation. About 30 people came to the open house and enjoyed Wrangell deer stew, berry cup with Wrangell blue berries and Hudson Bay tea gathered from Wrangell. Attendees received information regarding both Health Promotion's Traditional Foods Program and also Referral Care programs. Until January, Wrangell hosted its SEARHC Referral Care Coordinator in the Wrangell Medical Center or Clinic. Now we have reorganized into one office in the Stikine Native Organization building and we have one SEARHC office. This house warming party was effective in welcoming the change and in some way synthesizing the health care and health promotion branches of SEARHC services. Whether beneficiaries want to sign up for a culture camp or get their travel and appointment information, it's all located in one convenient office in the native community's building.
Wrangell Deer Stew and Berry Cup made with Wrangell blue berries and Hudson Bay tea gathered in Wrangell.

Kick Butts Day Kick Butts Day began in 1996 and is a national day of activism that empowers youth to stand out, speak up and seize control against Big Tobacco – this year it is on March 19, 2014. Each year on Kick Butts Day, SEARHC Tobacco Program partners with youth leaders, teachers, and other health advocates to host this event. The goals are to raise awareness of the problem of tobacco use in their state or community; encourage youth to reject the tobacco industry's deceptive marketing and stay tobacco-free; and urge elected officials to take action to protect kids from tobacco.
This year on March 19th at Gold Medal Basketball Tournament at the Juneau Douglas High School Commons (outside gymnasium) from 11 am – 6 pm there will be a display table featuring common poisons found in cigarettes, body Bags; raffle for iTunes, and information highlighting local tobacco marketing practices that target youth. Teen radio interviews are also being scheduled on March 18, 2014 to highlight the event.
Every March, we at SEARHC celebrate National Nutrition Month. The national theme this year is "Enjoy the Taste of Eating Right."
For ideas on how to make your meals tastier and more interesting, we suggest you: 1) check out the displays at ELMC and the Dental Building; 2) visit the "Eat Well" section SEARHC's online magazine, Healthy Living Southeast (www.healthylivingse.org) for more great ideas; and 3) contact one of SEARHC's four dietitians. In Juneau, you can contact Susan Hennon at 364-4476 or Aleene Poulsen at 463-4097. In Sitka, you can contact Kelly Whitcomb at 966-8427 or Jessica Holland at 966-8651.

Of cancers that affect both men and women; colorectal (colon) cancer is the #2 cause of cancer deaths in the United States. About 51,000 people die from colorectal cancer each year. Screening could have prevented 60% of these deaths.
Screening can find polyps (abnormal growths in the colon) that can be removed before they turn into cancer. Colon Cancer and polyps may not cause symptoms, so it is important that you not wait for symptoms before getting screened. It's generally recommended that you begin screening for colorectal cancer at age 50, but your doctor may recommend that you begin screening earlier.
In order to help you through the process, the SEARHC Colorectal Cancer Screening Program has a dedicated Patient Navigator, Maria Eells. Please feel free to contact Maria at 907-966-8541 or 907-966-2411 ext 8541.

The ELMC pharmacy hours now mirror the hours the clinic operates and it is open from 9:00am – 5:00pm on Saturdays and 12:00pm – 4:00pm on Sundays.
The State of Alaska has provided a one-time allocation of shingles vaccine (Zostavax) to Mt. Edgecumbe Hospital in Sitka and Ethel Lund Medical Center in Juneau. Shingles vaccine is very fragile and must be maintained within strict guidelines, which makes shipping difficult to outlying communities. If you live in one of the villages and would like shingles vaccine, please contact your local clinic.
There are several things you should know about the vaccine (including how to get it of you live outside Juneau or Sitka) which we have made available at our online lifestyle magazine, Healthy Living Southeast, so please take a look at the information at your earliest convenience.
To get the vaccine you may request a nurse appointment in the MEH Outpatient Department in Sitka at 966-8318 or Ethel Lund Medical Center in Juneau at 463-6608.

Below is the poem entitled THE LACK OF LUCK which was written by poet
MUTHOKA. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Hours morning, hours evening,
With hope, cling; without hope, cling
Man without shape gets anything,
Yours for pay be nothing,
If you lay on all thing.
The universe is a univerasal daughter,
Each man a piece,
Setting her your way be like the hen in the slaughter,
Visiting hours without learn,
Till others learnt from hers case.
Generation without axioms is
Like the wind. Anything it blows,
Our house it did and burnt our forests,
Lastly barren it went up the skies,
The woman to dance she chose,
She is now dancing. Our waists are broken,
Hers not yet. A connoisseur she's become.
One fetched water in haste. To dance cannot,
Already tired. Done mistakes two:
Bring water soiled, In hurry hurried, now tired.
It be conventional wisdom to eat your nuts one by one,
My professor words quote, good unwanted is 1,
Yet all want record number 1. Who the man
That will reconcile wisdom and application?
Luck be not except ruling out uncertainty to pursue certainty.
Luck be not without crucifixion of big dreams,
For the liberty of slim realities,
Like the party in the neighbour's house,
While mourning be in ours,
Take no jealousy.
I took a piece of meat yonder,
What benefited it me?
The love in a foreign marriage cannot save our hell.
Hail hail hail,
Hail again.
The morning breaks
A monotonous rhythm: black back to back,
The eagle flies east, west the vulture adventures.
One dines fresh, fellow tours the grave.
Do something though nothing,
Cast lot, get one,
A city is built unit-wise not package so,
The tune of our merry, the being of chance,
Sorry to be a victim.

El Caballo Takes Featured Conserve Purse on Sunday
James Spence's El Caballo re-rallied in deep stretch to narrowly defeat Wise River by a nose in Sunday's featured $59,040 Conserve Purse at Churchill Downs.
El Caballo, a 5-year-old Kentucky-bred son of El Corredor, covered the mile on a firm Matt Winn Turf Course in 1:35.55 under jockey Robby Albarado.
Longshot Starspangled Gator led the field the first time past the wire with El Caballo and Inca King in closest pursuit. El Caballo and Inca King disposed of the early leader turning for home, but were soon joined by Wise River, ridden by Brian Hernandez Jr. Wise River grabbed a brief advantage only to have El Caballo battle back to secure the victory.
Trained by Ralph Nicks, El Caballo won for the fifth time in 13 starts and increased his bankroll to $297,075 with the $35,820 winner's check.
El Caballo, the third choice in the field of 10, returned $9.20, $4.60 and $3.60. Wise River returned $5 and $3.40 with Demarcation rallying for third, another 3 ¼ lengths back, paying $4.80 to show under Jon Court.
Racing at Churchill Downs resumes Thursday with a nine-race card that begins with a 12:45 p.m. EDT post time.

By Marine Corps Sgt. Juan D. AlfonsoSpecial to American Forces Press Service
CAMP H.M. SMITH, Hawaii, Feb. 25, 2010 After a 30-year military career, Marine Corps Sgt. Maj. James Roberts Jr. is hanging up his uniform for the last time.
His fellow Marines here say Roberts leaves behind a legacy of Marines who have learned and carry on his traditions of being a leader who truly cares about his troops, always remains positive and never is comfortable sitting behind a desk.
Roberts, the sergeant major for Headquarters and Service Battalion, Marine Forces Pacific, may be best remembered for spending time with his Marines.
"I think I walk the halls a lot," said Roberts, who hails from Allendale, S.C. "I'm always in someone else's office, talking to the Marines, getting to know the Marines. I've got to stay in touch with them. If they have questions, I want to be there to answer them. I've always preferred being hands-on."
Roberts described his early years as always having something to do while growing up in a small town. It was in Allendale, he said, that he learned a work ethic that propelled him through his career as a Marine. He joined the Marine Corps after watching a recruiter enter a convenience store he worked in as a teenager. Blown away by how the sergeant presented himself, Roberts took his first step toward becoming a Marine.
"I thought to myself, 'Man that's a nice-looking uniform. I want to be a Marine,'" he said. "Back then I didn't think a whole lot about serving my country. I'd seen the commercials on TV, but what really did it was when I saw that Marine and that way he carried himself."
Roberts enlisted as a field wireman in November 1980. He attended recruit training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, S.C.
One of the unique aspects of his career is that he never requested to be stationed anywhere. The Corps moved him from duty stations on the East Coast to Japan. He never complained and made the best of where the Corps needed him.
One such occasion was in 1984. Shortly after arriving to Albany, Ga., Roberts learned his section was overmanned and that he would not be working in the section in which he'd expected to serve.
"They offered me a couple of different jobs," he said, chuckling. "I took assistant athletic director because it sounded better."
It was during his time in Georgia that he decided to change his career field to utilities.
Roberts said he enjoyed working as a utilities technician because it made life better for Marines. He worked with water purification, generators and air conditioning systems -- everything a unit needs to improve the quality of life for deployed Marines..
But it took some time before he mastered his craft. Changing career fields as a sergeant required him to take advice and learn from his juniors, an experience that helped to shape his leadership style today.
"Because I [changed career fields] as a sergeant, I had to rely on my lance corporals and corporals to correct me," Roberts said. "They knew the job, and I didn't. That experience taught me to never lose touch with the Marines and to always have that level of communication. Sometimes, they just have a better way of doing it that you haven't thought about. It's all about teamwork."
You don't have to go far here to find people who like Roberts' style.
"He was just driven," said Elger Talley, a retired Marine who served with Roberts in Japan and now works here as a civilian contractor. "He and I were staff sergeants together in Iwakuni, and I just thought he was dynamic. He's one of the top 10 Marines I've ever known. He was always well received, squared away. When I ran into him working here, and saw that he was a sergeant major, I could see that. Even back then as a staff sergeant, I saw that he had it in him."
Marine Corps Sgt. Diamond Robinson, Marine Forces Pacific operations section administrative chief, said he's learned a lot from Roberts "because of his leadership and who he is as a man." said
"He's impacted my life in a lot of ways," he said. "He's very, very, very understanding. He's not the kind of leader that hounds his Marines. He's straight and to the point, but you can tell there's some compassion, that he really cares about his Marines. Just [from] the way he carries himself and all the activities he does outside of the Marine Corps, you can tell he's a man of morals and values, and that's something to look up to."
With his retirement ceremony scheduled for April 16, Roberts is taking advantage of the time he has left to pass his secrets of success to the Marines under his charge.
"Be where you're supposed to be, when you're supposed to be there, in the right uniform and in the right frame of mind," he said. "Keep a positive attitude with everything you do, and everything you do should be positive.
"You've got to embrace change," he continued. "If you're plan is to just do four years and get out, that's fine, but take the opportunities to do certain things you thought you couldn't do. The Marine Corps is a great way of life."
He paused, and then grinned from ear to ear. "Oh, and one more thing," he said. "Save your money. We can't stay [in the Corps] forever. We have to prepare for the day we take off the uniform."
Roberts officially retires Sept. 1, and he said he will dedicate the rest of his life to his college education, mentoring at-risk teenagers and working on his golf swing.

A woman's death in Northumberland County has been ruled a homicide, according to the coroner.,
Police said JoAnn Mitchell, 69, was shot in the chest in her home near Watsontown by her boyfriend, 85-year-old Earl Beck. Investigators said after killing Mitchell, Beck then shot and killed himself.
Their bodies were found Tuesday evening.
Melinda LeBarron lives in a development near Watsontown, across the street from Earl Beck and Joann Mitchell.
"Didn't really see a lot going on with them. A few family members would come visit them, but they pretty much stayed to themselves," LeBarron said.
The couple who neighbors said kept to themselves is now dead. Authorities said Beck shot Mitchell in the chest, then shot himself at their home on Shreck Road in Delaware Township.
"That's concerning. It makes you wonder are you safe here or not," said Carol Newcomer.
Neighbors said they saw furniture being moved out of the house over the weekend. They said they also saw the couple arguing.
"People were moving her stuff out. She wanted to live in an apartment by herself," said LeBarron.
People who live in an apartment complex in Watsontown said Mitchell moved there earlier this month. The couple's former neighbors on Shreck Road said they are shocked by what happened.
"I've been here 18 and a half years and it's been the same. The man mows the grass every weekend, he's quiet. The woman takes a walk down the road every once in a while," Newcomer added.
"I'm still not getting over it because I'm not seeing him out getting the mail today. It's just too much," LeBarron said.
Neighbors said Mitchell and Beck had been together for 30 years but were not married. They added the couple had been fighting recently and Mitchell wanted to move out of the house.

Prisoners of Conscience Committee
From Social Justice Wiki
What is the Prisoners of Conscience Committee?
"We are not a prison activist organization. We are a revolutionary organization." -Fred Hampton, Jr.
The Prisoners of Conscience Committee was founded by Fred Hampton, Jr. during the nine years he spent in jail in the 1990's. In the words of Chairman Fred, Jr: "[The POCC] was literally birthed from behind enemy lines, its birth canal was the concentration camps, its umbilical cords are the prison chains." Now a national organization, the P.O.C.C engages in revolutionary work throughout the country, both through their own programs and through coalition building with other revolutionary peoples and organizations.
"I always knew 'Aint nobody gonna save us but us,' says Hampton, Jr., "So now how can we get as many people organized as possible?" Coalition building is extremely important, and the P.O.C.C. is able to connect with people "locked up in different struggles" by framing the conversation in terms of the concetration camps and the prisoners held captive within them.
Many organizations differ over what constitutes a political prisoner of war, but Chairman Fred Hampton, Jr. contends that "all prisoners are political."
In their own words they are "an organization that consists of African Revolutionary Freedom Fighters whose agenda is to liberate the minds and hearts of African and Colonized people." Though they do not consider themselves a prison activist organization, the P.O.C.C. uses what happens inside the concentration camps as a type - a model to explain the oppressive power structure on the outside.
POCC Clarification of Terms:
"We must start using brutal terms for the brutal realities we exist in."- Chairman Fred Hampton, Jr.
The POCC does not use terms defined for them, but instead promotes terminology that can more accurately convey the severity of the situation they are addressing. For example,
Prisons--> "Concentration Camps"
Gentrification--> "Land Grab"
Police Brutality--> "Police Terrorism"
AIDS, Heroin, Crack, Ebola--> "Chemical & Biological Warfare"
Harriet Tubman Code
Members of the POCC teach and live by this code which is summed up by M1, Minister of Culture of the POCC, as: 'Leave no brother or sister behind enemy lines." Anyone "fortunate enough to come from behind enemy lines cannot forget those who are still held captive."
An example of this spirit of accountability is that of Aaron Patterson, Minister of Defense of the POCC, currently held behind enemy lines. Upon release from jail after 17 years on Death Row on a false conviction, he took the $100,000 restitution given him by the state of Illinois to use as a bond on another prisoner's release. The P.O.C.C. is currently engaged in a campaign to free Aaron Patterson.
Please see the SF Bayview for more information.
POCC Educational Epic
Chairman Fred Hamtpon, Jr. and the P.O.C.C. make a clear distinction between being educated and being trained. Academic education must be used for the purposes of liberation! Academics writing books simply for the sake of writing books, and not with the purposes of making change, is unacceptable. These are exercises in futility or "Intellectual Masturbation," as Fred Hampton, Jr. calls them. Classrooms should be places of revoluationary change: class projects, according to the P.O.C.C., should be real work, like actively working on the case of death row inmate and political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal.
POCC Code of Culture
"There're too many of us in Sing Sing for us to be talking about bling bling."- Chairman Fred Hampton, Jr.
The P.O.C.C's Code of Culture applies to artists and musicians and is a call for cultural production to work toward positive change and not to distract from the battles at hand. An example: Puff Daddy cancelled his Chicago wing of a 'Vote or Die' campaign because the P.O.C.C. and community members would not allow the campaign to cross Illinois state lines. They say, "Organize or Die!" not Vote or Die.
"We have nothing to lose, but our chains," Karl Marx wrote, and the P.O.C.C. adds: "and ours ain't platinum."
Specifics of the P.O.C.C.
"The great grandchildren of Garvey, offspring of Malcolm and the cubs of Panthers." -Fred Hampton, Jr.

Healthy living focuses on learning about and managing emotional, mental and physical health. These topics are integrated into the school day through explicit units and small projects during advisory, interdisciplinary projects, and enrichment activities such as gardening, cooking, yoga, nature walks and hiking in Eaton Canyon. Students also participate in a variety of physical education activities during each week including group games, yoga, climbing, jogging and walking.
Healthy living also focuses on character education. Master teachers/advisors help students learn about safe, kind and responsible behavior. Staff members model these practices and explicitly reinforce them in their language with students. Students are asked to consider and examine their own beliefs and behaviors given different situations.
