A lot of us are planners. We plan work projects, celebrations, careers, family vacations, and retirements. However, the one area that most of us avoid thinking about, much less planning, is the end of our life. After all, we don't plan on having a terminal illness. We don't plan on dying any time soon. Decisions about end-of-life care are deeply personal, and are based on personal values and beliefs. No one wants to think about end-of-life issues when there are so many other happier activities to fill our calendars.
Still, at some point in time many of us will face making decisions about the dying process. How do you bring up the topic? When do you bring up the topic? Who do you talk to? Thinking about your end-of-life wishes, also known as advance care planning, can be hard and overwhelming. Most people expect their doctors to start the conversation about end-of-life planning - but only when it's necessary and not a moment sooner! That's especially true for people with cancer, especially when treatment may no longer be working. Many cancer patients and close family members may be thinking about discussing end-of-life issues with their doctor when the time comes, but where do they begin? More...

Caregiving | General
By Diane E. Meier, M.D., FACP
Deborah, a 36-year-old mother of two young children, was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 years ago, and the disease has metastasized (spread) to her bones. The pain is severe, making it hard to care for her children or get to work.
Like any young mother, Deborah is determined to fight her cancer and be present for her son and daughter as they grow up. Deborah's oncologists, doctors at the top of their field, are intensely focused on controlling her cancer and identifying the chemotherapy plans that are most likely to work for her. But they have been unable to manage Deborah's pain. It had become so bad that she was unable to sleep or eat, spending much of the day curled on her side in bed. She missed a course of chemotherapy because of her pain, and she had to hire outside help to get her kids to and from school.
Deborah's long-time internist finally referred her to the palliative care team at her local hospital. They prescribed a low-dose opioid medicine and within 2 days, Deborah's pain was well controlled, she was up and around, sleeping and eating, and back to normal life with her family. She has been able to complete her latest course of chemotherapy and her oncologist feels her scans are showing a good response to the treatment.
Deborah's story is not unique. She is one of many thousands of people with cancer who have benefitted from palliative care, so that she can enjoy some normal day-to-day function and quality of life while she fights cancer.
Palliative care, sometimes called "supportive care," is medical treatment for people with serious illness. It's most often begun by the cancer care team, and referrals to or visits with palliative care specialists may happen later. Teams of palliative care specialists typically include doctors, nurses, social workers, and other healthcare professionals who work together with the patient, their family, and their other doctors to provide an added layer of support. The team works with the patient to provide relief from the pain and other symptoms, as well as the distress of their illness, so that the patient can live as well as possible. More...

Have you seen all those fun and flashy commercials encouraging your kids to eat more fruits and vegetables? No? Neither have I. And there's a reason for that.
Out of the $1.79 billion that the Federal Trade Commission says major food and beverage companies spent marketing foods and beverages to kids and teens (in 2009 - the most recent data available), less than .05% was spent marketing fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately for those of us who care about children's health - which I hope is all of us - the majority of those dollars was spent on marketing unhealthy foods and beverages. Forty percent was spent to market fast food and other restaurant foods, and another 22% was spent promoting high-sugar sodas and other carbonated beverages.
And consider these additional statistics:

The cancer journey brings about many overwhelming feelings. Many thoughts may go through your mind when you hear, "You have cancer and you need to be seen by an oncologist." You may wonder how this will impact you, your family, and your friends. The possible anxiety caused by wondering what the oncologist will tell you at the appointment and which decisions you will have to make may take over your thinking. You may have trouble listening, understanding, or remembering what anyone is telling you during this time due to the very normal distress, uncertainty, fear, and anger you may be feeling.
Having a better understanding of what to expect, what to take with you, and which questions to ask at your first oncologist's appointment may help you better prepare and lessen the anxiety.
Before your first appointment, make sure you know the answers to these questions. Although they seem obvious, it can be easy to overlook these details when you're worried about your diagnosis:
General | Survivorship
By William Schaffner, MD
As I like to tell my patients, the best approach to everyday health is a proactive one, and that means staying up-to-date on recommended vaccinations in addition to annual checkups.
Many adults don't visit a doctor unless they feel ill, nor do they think about vaccination as part of their routine, preventive healthcare. This leaves them needlessly vulnerable to diseases that can cause severe health complications or even death.
Vaccines are a safe, effective way to help prevent a number of diseases at any age-from 6 months to 60 years, and beyond. In fact, there are several vaccines recommended specifically for adults because of their risk for certain infections.
It's important for all adults to check with a healthcare professional about which vaccines are recommended for them, as we all need some vaccinations as we age. For example, the chance of having complications from the flu, or getting shingles or pneumococcal disease (see below for more information) increases with age. In other cases, a weakened immune system or the presence of underlying illnesses like cancer, heart disease, or diabetes can make us more susceptible to diseases.
Many adult vaccines are readily available at primary care medical offices and in pharmacies, and the cost of vaccination is usually covered by Medicare and most private insurers. So, there are no excuses for not staying up-to-date!
If you have a weakened immune system due to cancer or related treatment, there are vaccines you should receive - and some that you should not receive.
Vaccines come in two forms: inactivated or live. Inactivated vaccines only contain killed viruses or bacteria and can be used for those with compromised immune systems. Live vaccines, such as the flu nasal spray (but not the shot, which has inactivated virus) or shingles, contain weakened but live components. While this does not pose a risk for people with a healthy immune system, live vaccines are not recommended for people whose immune system is weakened by certain cancers, cancer treatment, or other factors.
Cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and Hodgkin disease interfere directly with the immune system. In most cases, however, it's not the cancer itself, but the cancer treatment, that changes the immune system. Some cancer treatments, such as radiation, certain chemotherapies, and transplantations, prevent your immune system from responding the way it should to infections. If you aren't sure whether your immune system is being affected, talk to your doctor or other healthcare professional before you or anyone you spend a lot of time with gets any vaccines. More...

Ed. note: This guest post by Simone Myrie of the Office of Consumer eHealth, Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Health Information technology, US Department of Health and Human Services. In it, she explains how electronic health records and Blue Button can help cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers as they navigate their cancer journey.
No two experiences with cancer are alike, but there are certain things that almost all cancer patients and their loved ones share in common. From getting a diagnosis, to coordinating care among doctors and at home, and on to long-term survivorship plans, the cancer experience is one centered around information. Some of the information we seek is mostly objective: What can I expect this disease to do? What are my treatment options? How can I improve my odds of beating cancer?
But some of the most important information you can gather, keep track of and share is information unique to you: Your own health records. The visit summaries, clinical notes, test results, medication lists, treatment histories, and other documents represent a critical picture of your individual cancer experience. This information has implications for your individual choices, your professional care, and the care you receive from loved ones. More...

Getting a diagnosis of cancer is frightening for everyone. But for many lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) patients, the immediate concerns about treatment options and survival are compounded by an additional set of worries:
LGBT cancer patients and survivors are underserved and that is partly as a result of being underreported. No cancer registries collect information about gender identity or sexual orientation, leaving LGBT cancer survivors buried in the data and often invisible to healthcare providers. Treatment facilities and social service organizations may also be unaware of the true number of LGBT people they serve because their intake forms do not invite disclosure (coming out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender), and fear of discrimination keeps many patients in the closet. As a result, the healthcare system often fails to recognize LGBT patients and isn't trained to meet their needs. The American Cancer Society estimated in January 2014 that there were approximately 14.5 million Americans living with a history of cancer. Approximately 4% of Americans identify as LGBT, and LGBT people are known to have increased cancer risks and decreased screening rates. Considering all these factors, the National LGBT Cancer Network, estimates that there are more than 1 million LGBT cancer survivors in the country today. You might even know one or more of them.

Four cups of coffee a day may raise early death risk in younger adults
4 Cups of Coffee a Day Can Be Deadly

Under 55? Think twice before you reach for that extra cup of coffee, researchers say
After seeing these reports on the web and morning news, I had a thought as I reached for my morning cup of joe: Should I consider tea instead?

We celebrate International Women's Day March 8. Originally, it was an event to promote equal political rights, including the right to vote, for women. As a Chicagoan I'm proud to say that one of the earliest Women's Day observances was held in that city in 1908!
Today, although women have the right to vote almost everywhere, health inequalities and disparities between women in the developed and developing worlds -- and between men and women in many countries and regions of the world -- continue to exist.
Women's health is important, not only for women, but for men and for families. Women are the caregivers in most places in the world, and when a woman is ill or dies prematurely, her family -particularly her children - carry the burden. That is one of the reasons why it is so important to prevent premature illness and death in women from cancer. Although we think of cancer as a disease that affects people in high income countries, the reality is that 57% of cancer cases and 65% of cancer deaths are in low and middle income countries - that is 5.3 million deaths a year. And the trends point to a continuing shift of the burden to lower income countries.
In addition, the cancer experience in lower income countries is very different from the experience of cancer patients in the US. For example, in the US, 60% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed in the earliest stages of disease, whereas in Brazil only 20%, and in Mexico, only 10% are diagnosed at an early stage. When cancer is caught later, treatment is less likely to be successful. As a result, advances in cancer survival that we have experienced over the last few decades in the US are not reflected in the experiences of people with cancer in lower income countries. More...
Breast Cancer | Cervical Cancer | General
By Katherine Sharpe, MTS
Recently, in a meeting, a representative from another patient advocacy organization made a comment that caught my attention. He said, "People vet their plumbing company more than they do their hospital." I reflected on this comment and for many people that is probably true. The Better Business Bureau has long offered "grades" on businesses, based on certain criteria. But with about 5,000 hospitals nationwide, how do you know which are the most trustworthy and are best to give treatment?
One way is through accreditation. Accreditation, simply put, is a formal process to show that a hospital meets certain standards. The standards are designed to improve the safety and quality of care provided to patients and encourage continuous improvement efforts within a hospital.
The standards focus on how patients receive care, what kinds of rights patients have, and hospital functions that are essential to providing safe, high-quality care. These might include things like clinical ethics (the making of "right" decisions in the delivery of health care), infection control and prevention, how the building is managed and maintained, and how patient information is managed. Accreditation standards are usually seen as cutting-edge yet achievable for hospitals.
These quality measures have been developed for several disease types. In cancer, for example, a facility might be required to have wide-ranging diagnostic and treatment services on-site and participate in cancer-related clinical research.
Also, there can be varying categories of accreditation, so that the best fit can be established for a particular type of center. Standards for pediatric cancer facility might be different from those for an adult cancer center, for instance. More...

While I prefer the puffy, chewy dough of pide, Turkey's other pizzalike foodstuff, I'm also quite fond of lahmacun. Popular in Istanbul, as it is in much of the Middle East, it's a thin, thin crust topped with minced meat, ground peppers, and herbs, and often spritzed with lemon juice. More

David Roberts asks: Who, in this scenario [carbon revenue rebated to consumers], has any new incentive to shift to low-carbon electricity or efficiency? Short answer: …
The post on the mileage tax stirred up a lot of reaction, much of it negative. As it happens, the state of Oregon recently wrapped …
Environmental Capital reports that Obama's approach to climate change legislation is foundering, because it's tied to an ambitious social agenda. Which is weird, because Obama's cap-and-trade proposal isn't tied to an ambitious social agenda. Many Democrats are upset that President Obama's budget earmarks most of the $646 billion in cap-and-trade revenue for generic tax cuts and to help fund other programs, rather than for specific help to cushion the blow of increased climate regulation. This is a bit tricky to parse, but it helps if you understand that the word "earmark" here is used to mean "the opposite of an earmark." Congresscritters want the money from cap-and-trade for projects in their own states (green infrastructure, vote-buying, what-have-you), and Obama wants to return most of it to taxpayers. So where is this "ambitious health and social welfare agenda" stuff coming from? For that, we are referred to Bush-era EPA official and liar G. Tracy Mehan, III. Mehan has penned a fairly boring article in which he runs down the usual pros and cons of various flavors of carbon taxation, and then concludes:
In December, ranchers fell into a panic over a nonexistent EPA proposal to tax methane emissions from cows. By February, panic was replaced by giggling: how could they every have worried over something so crazy as a "cow tax"? And now, to demonstrate how badly misplaced their fears were, a Democratic and Republican Senator have joined together to enshrine in law the sacred principle that American cows shall never be taxed. Smell the bipartisanship. Including cattle in a cap-and-trade system is, of course, a fine idea. From an environmental perspective, cattle are a major source of a wide range of ills: methane emissions, land use changes, nitrous oxide emissions, ammonia emissions, etc. If you tally up the negative impacts of beef on human health and productivity, the societal cost of cows climbs even higher. From an economic efficiency perspective, it generally doesn't make sense to exclude sectors from a carbon cap. We want emissions reductions to come from the fastest, lowest-cost sources available, and it's hard to imagine anything cheaper or lower-cost than reduced beef consumption. It takes decades to shut down a coal plant. It takes no time at all to not eat a strip steak. Moreover, energy is a primary input to just about every sector of the economy. The same can hardly be said for tender, delicious short ribs.
This sort of flew under the radar, but a few weeks ago a federal commission floated the idea of eventually replacing the gas tax with a tax based on the number of miles driven each year. What happened next was odd: progressives, conservatives, and wonks banded together to proclaim a mileage tax to be a stupid idea. A mileage tax is not a stupid idea. It may prove to be unworkable for technical, political, or even cultural reasons, but at root a mileage tax is both a very good idea and also possibly a necessary one as we undertake a shift away from the internal combustion engine. It's no surprise to see politicians (like Obama) run screaming from this proposal, but why are the pundits piling on? Before delving into the specific arguments for and against a mileage tax, it's worth noting that the entire country of Holland is doing exactly what commentators have deemed stupid or impossible: starting in 2011, the Netherlands will phase in a vehicle-tracking scheme that applies dynamic pricing to every mile driven. Pricing will vary by vehicle type, time of day, and location, in order to curb both congestion and carbon emissions. The program is designed to be revenue-neutral, and because the government is simultaneously phasing out a steep motor vehicle tax, the plan should end up reducing the burden on low-income drivers. I mention this not to suggest that the U.S. can or should do exactly as Holland does, but just to point out that the concept isn't quite as crazily unworkable as some seem to think.
Eager to find new ways to trivialize the warming of the planet, the New York Times has been reporting on the carbon footprint of individual politicians and legislatures. They are abetted in this effort by Terra Eco, a French environmental magazine that has calculated British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's footprint to be -- quelle horreur! -- 8,400 tons of CO2 per year. By my calcs, that's about 0.0001 percent of America's carbon footprint, so as soon as Brown buys a bicycle, we should have the climate problem pretty well licked. In the meantime, I applaud Terra Eco's work on this important issue, and look forward to their upcoming report on the size of Al Gore's swimming pool.
President Obama recently announced a plan to cut the federal deficit in half by the end of his first term, in part by raising revenue through the auctioning of carbon permits under a cap-and-trade system. In one sense, there's no new information here. Obama campaigned heavily on cap-and-trade and he's always favored auctioned permits, so the plan is just a restatement of some prior campaign pledges. Right? Sort of, but this is still a very big deal. The new budget has at least four big implications. The first is purely political. By including carbon revenue in his budget projections, Obama is not only presenting cap-and-trade as a fait accompli, he's also casting it as a matter of fiscal responsibility. Deficit reduction is the ultimate bipartisan fetish object, and with this announcement Obama has performed an effective flanking maneuver on opponents who are going to try to worry a climate bill to death over economic concerns. Don't get me wrong: the political battle over cap-and-trade will be bruising. But the rhetorical ground on which it will be fought just tilted more heavily in the favor of environmentalists.
Although rumors of its death may be exaggerated, the Kyoto Protocol hasn't so far been anyone's idea of a rip-roaring success. The question remains: is the international treaty fundamentally flawed, or is it a fixer-upper that bureaucrats are slowly tweaking into an effective carbon-fighting regulatory framework? Two pieces of recent evidence boost the fixer-upper view. The first is a report from a prominent research group suggesting that a large part of the European Union's drop in carbon emissions last year are attributable to the cap. EU emissions dropped by 3 percent in 2008. According to New Carbon Finance, 40 percent of this drop is due to Kyoto. Another 30 percent is due to the recession. Much of the drop came from a switchover from coal to natural gas. To be sure, this is a modest improvement. The drop itself is small, and natural gas is still a fossil fuel. Nevertheless, this is how a carbon price works: gradual, steady pressure yields incremental movement toward cleaner technologies. The mechanism appears to be sound, and legislators are presently engaged in the political task of making the cap more stringent.
Recently the green blogosphere has been engaged in an oddly vigorous defense of command and control style legislation. I'm not sure whether this trendlet grows out of environmentalists' unfortunate habit of ranking and re-ranking and arguing over the ranking of various solutions to climate change; or out of pique that odious people like Charles Krauthammer are pretending to be proponents of carbon pricing; or, as I suspect, out of something else entirely, but I have some good news for supporters of mandates: Both the public and public officials love command and control style legislation. To be sure, the term "command and control" is pejorative, but no congressperson ever introduced the 2008 Command and Control Environmental Protection Act. Nevertheless, virtually every single piece of environmental legislation ever enacted takes the form of a mandate. From renewable portfolio standards to CAFE to wilderness protection to the quality of our air and water to species protection to waste management to an endless stream of subsidies and tax credits (good, bad, and ugly) -- they don't call it environmental regulation for nothing.


text: The hype is that Finals Week is the most horrible week of the entire school year. I beg to differ. Two weeks before finals week is the most horrible week EVER. That is when ALL the projects are due, when ALL the presentations take place, when ALL the papers are due, and when they ALL happen at the same time. See, the week before finals is dedicated to the review and studying so that is relatively harmless. The actual week of finals you don't have classes (AWESOME) so you do have plenty of open hours to really pound those books and study. Finals week I think is relatively peaceful and well organized by the college for the most part. BUT two weeks before finals is when the professors make that last ditch to finish up everything that needs to be turned in before the semester ends. So be aware of that and use your time wisely! Don't procrastinate or else you'll be left with a heap of work like I am currently. Thank goodness it's almost Friday.

Annual Performance Measures
The Department of Administrative Services (DAS) collaborated with the City of Salem and the Salem Urban Renewal Agency to prepare the Mill Creek Corporate Center for sale. Together these governmental organizations are working cooperatively in the disposition and development of the property, and providing the financing and construction of the off-site infrastructure to support the project. The highest and best use for the site is industrial, warehouse distribution, & light manufacturing. The master plan, urban renewal district and zone change have been implemented. Tax increment revenues will finance the off-site infrastructure and wetland mitigation for the project. This will provide the project with "shovel ready" sites for the master developer and end users.
Phase 1, Parcel A is a 160 acre planned, industrial development, including a 72 acre Business Park (flex space with light industrial and office), a 79 acre Industrial Park, and a 10 acre commercial center. Parcel A, the core of Mill Creek Corporate Center, is now available for development. The property is served with water, sewer, and roads, and all franchise utilities are available to the site. Industrial Site Certification through Business Oregon is underway. Phase 1, Parcel B is a 146-acre site bounded by Aumsville Highway, Kuebler Boulevard, and Highway 22. 53 acres have been sold and provide a home to the new Home Depot Rapid Deployment Center, a 465,000 square foot specialized distribution center. 90 acres of fully-served developable land are still available, which may be partitioned into up to two lots. This property has Industrial Site Certification through Business Oregon. Phase 1, Parcel C consists of two parcels fronting the south side of Aumsville Highway. The eastern parcel consists of three lots totaling 20.1 acres, with 611 feet of frontage on Aumsville Highway and 1,881 feet of frontage on the future A Street. The western parcel consists of four lots totaling 25.98 acres, with 1,892.5 feet of frontage on Aumsville Highway and 595 feet of frontage along Kuebler Boulevard. Both of these parcels are fully served with utilities and have Industrial Site Certification through Business Oregon. Note: There is no vehicular access to the site from Kuebler Boulevard. Phase 2, Parcel A (128.4 acres of industrial land) and Phase 2, Parcel B (31.39 acres, ideal for a hillside business park) are available, but are not actively being marketed at this time.

Van Rhijn has made 59 appearances for Ajax and has established himself as their first-choice right-back.
Speculation has claimed he could be on the radar of Everton boss Roberto Martinez, but the player insists he is happy with his current club.
Van Rhijn told Amsterdam TV station AT5: "It's everywhere in the news.
"It would be nice if they are interested, but for now I am happy here in Amsterdam."
The 21-year-old, who has been in good form this season with two goals in 14 appearances, is under contract with Ajax until the summer of 2015 and is happy to be back in action after the winter break.
He added: "I am feeling better. I am fully fit and came back sharp from the winter break. The two weeks off was a welcome break."
The Holland international has recently lost his place in the national side to Feyenoord's Daryl Janmaat but will hope to be involved in the World Cup squad.

BAKER — Leaving Baker School, which senior Malcolm Griffith has attended since kindergarten, will be strange.
"Growing up with the same people it has been a blast," he said. "Most people have to transition (to different schools) from elementary school to middle school and then middle school to high school. Here it's just going to different buildings.
"It's going to be very weird adjusting to life without Baker. This has become like a second home to me."
But for Griffith, who took dual-enrollment classes at Northwest Florida State College, the future is promising. He's finishing within the top ten of his class, will attend the University of West Florida and plans to become a certified registered nurse.
Still, it'll be hard to say goodbye.
Griffithenjoyed running track, volunteering for the school's annual senior citizens banquet and scoring a field goal when the Gator football team defeated Northview High School in this year's District 1-1A Championship.
School staffers said Griffith left an impression.
Leadership Club adviser Denise Gronberg said Griffith embodies determination.
"Malcolm never says he can't," she said. "There isn't a task he won't try and accomplish with great success."
"He is not in this world just for himself; he thinks and helps wherever or whoever needs it," Baker track and assistant football coach David Oglesby said.
And the teenager accepted help, namely Oglesby's.
"When I wasn't doing that good in kicking, my 10th grade year, he really helped through that," Griffith said.
"He helped me become a better (kicker)."

MOSCOW (AP) - He's been battered and humiliated for more than 40 years, but the wolf in a classic Russian animated cartoon has skirted the indignity of having to drop his smoking habit.
Russian media had wondered if a law designed to protect children that takes effect Saturday could require TV producers to extensively cut episodes of the cartoon "Nu Pogodi" because the villainous wolf is a heavy smoker.
The law says material deemed harmful to children can be broadcast only from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m.
But the vice president of the Russian Academy of Television, Alexander Mitroshenkov, said Thursday that he had talked with many legislators and officials and there was an agreement that "we won't cut anything, not one cigarette."
There was no word if the wolf was relieved.

Letter: Thanks to the chamber
To the editor:
What an educational experience it was to be a part of this year's Leadership Vance program.
The 15 participants of Leadership Vance were given opportunities to learn all about the community and what it has to offer. We were exposed to the city and county government and what makes it tick. We were deeply inspired by the endless care and dedication given by those who provide services to all walks of life.
Our community is filled with rich history that helps us all understand where we have been and the hope of where we can go together. Leadership Vance taught all 15 of us that we must all be active participants in our community by using our gifts and talents to share and enrich where we play, live and work.
As parents and educators we must expose our children to the numerous opportunities right in our backyard. Vance County has farms that use innovative technology to provide the best for our citizens and learning opportunities for our children. We have factories that create products from school supplies to wall coverings to state-of-the-art solar power panels.
We are also the home of major distribution centers that ship all over the world.
There are many opportunities for all of us to reach out into our community and provide hope and service through ACTS, United Way, Lifeline Ministries, Rebuilding Hope and Meals on Wheels.
I do thank Vance County Schools for allowing me to participate in this amazing program. It has changed my perspective and encouraged me to become an active citizen of the community of which I live. If your employer is a chamber member you are able to apply to become a member of the next Leadership Vance program.
Thank you so much to the chamber of commerce for being a strong educator of our city and county.

In a literally explosive show, KISS took to the stage to rock out "Detroit Rock City" on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Proving that glam rock has no age, the guys stormed the stage in full make up and costume, and gave a high energy, tongue wagging performance that culminated in the very rock and roll destruction of a guitar. With flames engulfing the stage throughout the show as explosions and flashing lights abounded, the performance was met with roaring applause from an enthusiastic, face-painted audience.

Modular Vitrification System (MVS®)
Kurion's Modular Vitrification System (MVS®) is a single-cycle, inductively heated, melt-in-the-final-container system. MVS® has the potential to offer cost, schedule, and safety advantages over competing vitrification technologies due to its ease of scalability, waste insensitivity, ability to receive either dry solids or slurry feed, absence of molten glass pouring, viscosity independence, and wider range of process temperatures.
75 Test Runs have been performed to date at Lab Scale (products are 3" x 19 " glass ingots).
Kurion is working with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to demonstrate this technology on radioactive waste and radioactive waste simulants.
MVS® Module
The MVS® Module Sub-System is the heart of the system. The Module is both the inductively heated melter and the disposal container for the vitrified waste. The Module consists of four nested cylinders/layers that perform specific functions for melting the waste and protecting workers and the environment.
- The outermost cylinder is typically a stainless steel shell, as it is the most commonly accepted final disposal canister by our customers' final disposal sites
- Next, an insulating layer protects the stainless steel from heat generated during the melting process
- The third concentric cylinder is a graphite susceptor that is inductively heated
- The susceptor is protected from being oxidized and corroded by the vitrifying waste process by a proprietary fourth layer
Continuous Fill, Sequential Melting
Once the Module Sub-System is introduced into the Module Heating and Cooling Sub-System and connected to the Module Fill-Head Sub-System, the vitrification cycle starts, controlled by the Control Sub-System. The inductive coil, a component of the Module Heating and Cooling Sub-System, inductively heats the appropriate section of the graphite susceptor starting from the bottom of the cylinder. The molten glass pool is approximately a few inches deep. Feed (either dry or slurry, depending on the application) is delivered by the Feed Preparation Sub-System to the Feed Metering Sub-System and finally dropped through the Module Fill Head Sub-System onto the molten glass pool, causing the pool to rise. The molten pool typically rises at a speed of a few inches per hour, monitored by the Module Level Control Sensing Sub-System. The Module In-Process Integrity Sensing Sub-System ensures that the integrity of the Module Sub-System is maintained during the entire fill process. Water vapor and other off-gases formed during the melting process are evacuated and treated by the Off-Gas Sub-System.
As the pool rises, product under the molten pool gradually solidifies into an acceptable glass form. During the process, the Module Heating and Cooling Sub-System actively cools the outer stainless canister.

Middletown: Attractions and more...
Like every other place, Middletown has also got its own entertainment avenues. The Sachuest Point National wildlife Refuge, Wanumentonomy Golf and Country Club, Newport National Golf Club, Sandy Point Stables and sailing company are few outdoor venues that have a great number of things to offer.
People who like to watch or listen rather than be a part of some strenuous activity can enjoy Middletown by listening to music in Common Fence Music, or watching a show at Rhode Island Ballet Theater.
Some of the sights that one must not miss when in town are Purgatory Chasm, Green End fort, Prescott Farm, United Congregational church and Whitehall Museum house. Newport is close to Middletown. The Ballet Theater in Middletown holds a lot of events and people really enjoy performing and watching these shows.

Think about it: You are who you really are, or are you "who you are" because the people around you tell you who you are? I felt the latter one, and it's unfortunate that i have to re-adapt into being myself again by believing that my current circle of people are not what makes me "who i really am". It's unfortunate at the very best of it, although they're all really nice, generous, and caring bunch of people, i just feel i have to let go of what i have right now. i felt this little decline in my personality lately, although my attitude upon meeting new people and making new friends haven't changed a bit. Probably it's immature and ungrateful to think that what made me the "now" me is because of the people around me, but in the moments when you're alone having all the time life can give you to think about your life, i feel this urge to stay focused on who i chose to become in the past, and not let anyone or anything change that. It's some kind of sadness in witnessing what you've become.
often i think about the probability of living my parallel life, or maybe just peeking into it. Just so that i could be grateful of what i have now, what the choices i made in the past that made me the "now" me. Maybe what led me to my present path was just because of my choice on having my lunch a few meters away from the usual restaurant, or maybe because i chose to go riding my bike to someplace rather than going straight home. Don't get me wrong, it's not those type of thinking that in the end gets me stressed, it's just imagining an alternate life just for the fun of it. There were lots of choices i made in the past, mostly in my college years that i still can remember the reason the memory of the experience stayed so deeply in my mind because of the impact it had on me. Like the day i chose to move to another faculty because of some silly reason (and never did i regret that decision ), or the day i took off riding my dads motorcycle around town even when i was 3 years under the legal age for driving, or the day i rode my motorcycle alone out of town to just enjoy my spare time even though i only barely had money to buy gas, or the first time i showed my feelings to the girl i genuinely liked and at the same time felt rejection for the first time, and the downward spiral that came after.
It's a feeling of "what if i didn't do this?", "what f i didn't do that?", and in the end not caring of the "what ifs" because you're glad you took the courage to do what you thought was impossible for you. So as usual, i write a post that contradicts myself by asking myself this: " If you're really that eager to go back being your true self, why are you so grateful for what you are now?".
So this is my conclusion. It's experiences after the choices we make that are truly unique for each individuals, what makes you "you" is the choices you make in life, either small or in a grand scale. If it changes you into something new then just suck it up and live with it, it's life. It's never stagnant, it constantly changes. Something new is always something better if we know how to adapt to "new".

Zombie games are self-cannibalising. Take Undead Overlord. It's a strategy game where you control the zombie hordes and not the humans. You drag and drop the undead, creating more and more brain-chewers as you burn through the population. The developers JumpCore are so excited that their Kickstarter says: "Undead Overlord is born of a passion to see something different exhumed from the zombie games space. So in the tradition of games like Dungeon Keeper, we've turned the genre on its head, and put the player in charge of the zombie horde." Perhaps someone should show them Ray's The Dead?

God & Christ care was founded in 2011 by a couple, Chris and Golda Obinzu, in San Antonio, Texas. Chris and Golda knew they were meant to spend their lives together when they bonded over their joint belief in the importance of serving their community and fellow human beings. After experiencing the difficult decisions of how to care for their aging parents, Chris and Golda found the perfect outlet to care for others in creating God & Christ Care, a home health care agency that strives to care for others in the same manner they wished their own parents to be treated. It was not enough to only ensure their own parents would be well cared for- because of their deep commitment to leadership through service, they chose to create a company that would ensure that the love they feel for their fellow human beings would shine through the services they provide. Their diverse backgrounds helped them shape God & Christ Care into the agency it is today: a place of healing, restoration, and growth. God & Christ care now serves 94 counties surrounding San Antonio, and will continue to expand to meet the community's needs.
"We commit ourselves to serving you and your family with the exceptional loving care that builds relationships. We cherish each patient as our own family member and our emphasis is on never being able to give too much."
Chris comes to San Antonio by way of New York. He is a lifelong entrepreneur, owning businesses that each uniquely dealt with helping his clients become their very best selves, which has led him to his true passion: helping others heal, restore, and grow through compassionate care. His extensive fashion and retail background taught Chris the importance of personal presentation, self esteem and positive self image, and carrying oneself with pride and dignity. The fashion industry relies on people, and Chris' belief that every person is equal lead to his success in managing his hard-working staff, as well as multiple showrooms. His work with top industry designers, celebrities, and the famous New York Fashion Week shows his commitment to working with clients who have very particular needs- and delivering incredible results. Chris began with a private fashion label, and through his dedication to his company, turned the label into a 1.3 million dollar gross revenue. Chris intertwined his work with that of a financial advisor for many years; he found a deep fulfillment in helping others plan for the long term. Chris understands that so much in life is out of our control, so we must plan for what is controllable, and he does this by helping individuals plan their finances. Chris has also worked extensively with youth organizations through his church, helping lead efforts to lift up the local homeless population through housing and financial discussions. This humanitarian spirit puts Chris in the perfect position to lead God & Christ Care. His boundless spirit of generosity overflows into his work; and his experience with helping people in every facet of their lives- be it emotional, spiritual, financial, or physical- helps strengthen his confidence that God & Christ Care is the premier facility for care in San Antonio.
Golda has over 13 years of experience in the energy conservation field. She is currently the Energy Manager for Bexar County. In this position she is responsible for the energy reduction and conservation of all County-owned assets, which includes buildings, vehicles and parks. She creates policies, performs energy and engineering analyses, makes recommendations and implements energy reduction projects. To date she has helped the County save over one million dollars in utility expenses. Prior to Bexar County, Golda worked for Johnson Controls, Inc. as an Energy Engineer. She was responsible for the development of over $25 million dollars in Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC) Projects within the education and local, state and federal government sectors throughout the state of Texas. Golda holds numerous accreditations, including Certified Energy Manager (CEM), an Engineer-in-Training (EIT) and a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Accredited Professional. She is currently pursuing her Professional Engineers License. Golda received a Bachelor of Science degree in Architectural Engineering from Milwaukee School of Engineering and an MBA from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Golda has lived in San Antonio for over 12 years. She and Chris were married in October 2012, and a beautiful meeting of minds of born. Golda deeply believes in the power of education, energy conservation and protection, and healing the earth. Her proven management skills, love of numbers, and great success in financial management and development make her an exceptional Chief Financial Officer.

When I Can'T Stop The DreamsI tried to go out with some friends last night. A group of people I have known for 10+ years. Casually. People who don't understand how lonely I have been inside the cold walls of my marriage, but people who see me smile and assuming I'm doing just fine.
I go out with the intention of trying to have a good time. Dinner, bowling. Then down to the bar district for drinks and dancing. A mixed group of us. From 26 - 40. Male and female. Attractive professionals.
Conversation was good. Lots of stories and memories. And the phones come out to share photos old and new. As I sat at the table, my heart heavy with regret, I realized how much of my life has been a fraud. I haven't been true to myself. I haven't been true to my heart. I've stayed in a marriage where I received so much less than I deserved because I thought my kids deserved hat. In the sacrifice- and yes, it's been a personal sacrifice- I've grown bitter and hard.
When some old pictures turned up of my birthday years and years ago I was sad to see the sadness my eyes held. The feelings of being trapped are always just under the surface of my carefully constructed controlled smile. Two things struck me about the picture. My look of sadness on what should have been a day of celebration and the giant diamond ring on my left hand that sparkled and held the the light of the flash in the photo.
My husband, always the great provider. Gift giver. Mr. Generosity. Except when it came to my feelings. Except when it came to my needs. I was forced to wonder why I wasn't enough. Why he didn't desire me or have a natural need to reach for me. A want to hold me and kiss and touch me.
It has been a long journey. A painful path to find the self I lost over the years. I feel better than I can remember in a long time but I dread the mess that is going to be created as I end this marriage. The kids. The family. The friends. The frenemies. The collateral damage caused by my need to feel loved and be loved.
B asked me the other day if I would stay in my marriage if he wasn't in the picture. And I lied. I told him I would have left anyway. But, that's not the truth. I don't think I would have felt the awakening and wanted to pursue what breathes life into me again if we hadn't become involved.
I feel incredibly selfish. I feel guilty. But I also feel vindicated. I am not undesirable. I am more than a token wife. I am a person with depth and passion. I begged my husband to recognize that. To feed my soul and cherish my heart. He decided it wasn't important.
I am a horrible person for entering into an affair. I am aware of the wrong. I have no excuses. But I do have the feelings inside me that make me realize I have to leave my marriage if I ever want to feel whole again.
Since finding out about the affair my husband has tried to be more attentive. He has made some attempts to hold my hand and talk to me a little bit. While I appreciate the effort, and I hope we can find a way to remain civil - and maybe even somewhat friendly - for the sake of our children, my heart is unable to trust him with my deepest needs and my deepest thoughts.
I cannot trust my heart to a man who so carelessly tossed me aside when I was inconvenient on a daily basis. When I think about my next 10 years. The kids moving on to their own marriages, watching the health of my older realitives decline, and my own life change into that of a true emptynester I cannot imagine leaning on him. I wouldn't it. Just as I haven't shared my feelings with him over the last 12 years. It's been lonely. I hate the hard shell it has created. I want the me back that I have missed to much. The carefree spirit with this huge weight lifted off me.
I have given myself 6 months. A 6 month plan to exit. To try to end this marriage so he can find his own hapiness as well. I have asked him to sit down with me to review the bills and our money. I have asked for my own accounts. I have done this numerous times. But something always comes up and he never has time.
I work as well. The money is not all his. Tomorrow I'm going to the bank and I'm going to establish my own checking and savings account. I'm going to take the heat and the argument that is sure to ensue. I am going to take my life back one step at a time. Living under the pretense that we are both fulfilled is a lie I cannot smile through anymore. I have experienced passion, and the feelings of being alive again drive me to pursue a lifetime of more, not a lifetime ot empty.
I hope you are all pursuing the dreams that awaken you. My mind is clear. My heart is heavy, but hopeful that my future will be one that fulfills me.
I could have written your story for you. Exact same issues (kids, boyfriend, feeling like a fraud, seeing photos that captured the "real" you, wanting yourself back and to ditch the weight of it all).
"The collateral damage caused by my need to feel loved and be loved." That line struck me as so simple and perfect. There is damage--little or a lot, who knows--but there is also good. You have no idea how your actions will uplift your children, your family, your friends. I think we're conditioned to see only the bad. But most important, there is no turning back once you actually do know what it likes to feel loved and be loved. I went the very same path as you and though I do actually believe I would have left without the boyfriend, it made the path easier to see and follow and I am grateful for that relationship every single day.
Last, your comment about not sharing with him for 12 years mirrors mine. Over the years there is so much I haven't shared it almost amazes me how I could live with someone and have them know so little about me. I would never lean on him or confide in him again. Like in your experience, the last-ditch effort as I plan to leave is sort of nice and trips me up some, I guess, but it is as you say: too little too late.
I wish you the best in achieving the future that fulfills you.
You CAN do it. Let me suggest a little helpful trick . . . When he acts out or gets mad, stay calm. I can see you shaking your head and asking "How do you think I can do THAT?" Well it really isn't all that hard, believe it or not!
Simply CHOOSE to not react to his anger, criticism or abuse. Tell yourself he is acting like a "playground bully" and you are following the advice you would give your children ("Ignore him - if he doesn't get a "reward" for his bullying behaviour - ie. you responding to him - he will stop doing it.")
When he argues, pleads and insists he will "change", tell him you look forward to that - but it will not affect your current decision.
When he says you are cold hearted, mean and selfish, tell him you are sorry he feels that way, but it will not change your behaviour.
When he says you are cheating by having your own bank account, tell him you are making sensible plans for both of you for the future.
In other words, think about the sorts of responses you might get, and plan for these. Stay cool, rational and polite. Don't criticise, attack, apologise, cry or beg . . . . . Don't agree to give him "one more chance". If he says "Is our marriage over then?" tell him you don't know - that how he acts from this point forward will help to decide that. In other words, put it back onto HIM.
If he insists you promise not to leave him, tell him you cannot promise anything at present. You are simply evaluating your circumstances and will let him know when you decide one way or the other . . .
He is used to you giving in. He expects you to cave in under his criticism or demands. He simply will not know HOW to react if you are calm, rational, respectful and FIRM in your attitudes. Please give it a try - it becomes easier each time you do it.
A six month time frame for your exit is actually pretty sensible. There is a lot of logistical work to plough through, that takes a while.
But you do need to start NOW. As in TODAY if you are going to be where you want to be in your life plan by July 27th 2013.
Lawyer first.
Tread your own path.
Carry on...

Do Touch
In most art exhibitions, touching the artwork is a capital crime. Not so at the Magic Art Special Exhibition, which will be on show in various cities across China for the next year and a half. In Hefei and Hangzhou, visitors interacted with the three-dimensional paintings by touching, sitting on and even sticking their heads into them.

Upon admission, students will be mailed the documentation necessary to apply for an I-20, which is essentially the invitation from MSU Law necessary to apply for an F-1 student visa. If a different type of student/scholar visa is needed, please notify the Office of Graduate and International Programs so that the proper paperwork is made available.
Students will need to show proof of funding for their studies as well as living expenses in a total amount of $44,010. This represents 24 credit hours of classes and living expenses for a one-year period. Proof may be shown in the form of bank statements, a letter from a government or agency sponsor, or other means. Students must provide additional funding proof if they are bringing a spouse and/or other dependents into the country during their studies.
After visa documents are submitted MSU Law, students will receive an I-20 in the mail. Students must take the I-20 to their local consulate/embassy for an interview, at which time students will be granted or denied an F-1 student visa or asked to provide additional information.
TRANSFER STUDENTS CURRENTLY IN F-1 or J-1 VISA STATUS:
Students who are transferring to Michigan State University College of Law from another school in the United States (high school, community college, university, or technical school, etc.) and are seeking an I-20 or a DS-2019, please follow these steps to obtain a new I-20 or DS-2019.
1) MSU Law cannot issue an I-20 or DS-2019 until a student's current school has released his or her record in SEVIS. Students must work with their current school to ensure electronic transfer of their SEVIS record. Once that record has been electronically transferred, MSU will issue the immigration document.
Each student and his or her current school are required to complete the Transfer In form in order to process his or her transfer to MSU.
2) Students who ask for an immigration document that DOES NOT correspond to their current visa status must change their visa status. ISSUING AN I-20 or a DS-2019 DOCUMENT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE STATUS TO AN F-1 or J-1 STUDENT.
To obtain F-1 or J-1 status:
• leave the United States with the MSU Law I-20 or DS-2019 and re-enter AFTER having obtained the required VISA Stamp at a U.S. consulate OUTSIDE of the United States.
3) If a student intends to travel outside the United States after he or she has transferred out of his or her current school and before he or she receives the MSU Law I-20 or DS-2019 he or she MUST re-enter the United States on the MSU Law I-20 or DS-2019. In this case students must get in touch with the OISS to provide them with an overseas mailing address so their documents can be sent to them. MSU Law will charge students for the cost of the express mail service so please be ready to provide credit card details.
If a student's visa type is NOT currently F-1 or J-1 and he or she is asking for an I-20 or a DS-2019 to be issued, that student will need to change your visa status. REMEMBER THAT OBTAINING THE I-20 or DS-2019 is only the first step in this process, FURTHER ACTION IS NEEDED TO BECOME AN F-1 or a J-1 student. Please consult the College of Law SEVIS Designated Officials for more information by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Students who are A J-1 in the scholar or researcher category and would like to enroll at MSU Law, please consult MSU Law's SEVIS Designated officials for more information by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com

Community garden project in Belen set to involve neighbors, youth
Building a community one seed at a time. That's the aim with the community garden springing up at Dalies Avenue and North Sixth St. in Belen
By spring, Dubra Karnes-Padilla, the project's chairwoman, wants raised gardening beds with fertile soil in place for community members to start planting.
"We want to create a beautiful spot," Karnes-Padilla said. "We want it to be a source of life in Belen."
El Corazon de Belen Garden Park, an intergenerational project, is a place where community members can come together to grow food by using sustainable techniques, Karnes-Padilla said.
"It creates an opportunity where we work with neighbors to collaborate and share with neighbors, and teach kids how to be good neighbors and responsible for their community," she said.
The project's mission statement outlines the community garden as a place to support and create vegetables grown naturally without pesticides, food production for the community, increase youth involvement, educate community members about natural gardening and sustainable living techniques and provide service learning opportunities.
A percentage of the food grown will go to the Belen Area Food Pantry, and residents can also apply to receive food.
The park would sustain hardy vegetables and herbs, which can survive in New Mexico's climate and soil.
Since there isn't a budget for the park, it's coming together through community donations, Karnes-Padilla said.
"People are donating their time and expertise," she said. "We're looking for the community to help us."
Students in Summer of Service, a hands-on learning effort aimed to offer students an opportunity to solve community issues, built and painted 10 wooden garden boxes for the park.
BNSF donated $2,000 for a fence to enclose the park.
Liza Bley, with Boy Scouts of America, will bring a group to paint and pull weeds at the garden on Saturday, Oct. 22.
The project stemmed from a University of New Mexico-Valencia Campus course, the Resiliency Core, where students examine results from the New Mexico Youth Risk and Resiliency Survey and find ways to increase resiliency in youth. The survey accounts for risk behaviors and protective factors in New Mexico public school students, particularly those in middle school and high school.
Karnes-Padilla said the survey gives an indication of what is going on in the state and county and what areas need work.
"It lets us know how youth are feeling in a variety of areas," she said.
Participating in a community garden is an evidenced-based strategy aimed to get students involved in the community and address problems identified by the survey, Karnes-Padilla said.
A community garden is set up at H. T. Jaramillo Community School. Through this garden, Karnes-Padilla said students learn how to grow their own food with sustainable living techniques.
"Some kids don't know how to cook anymore," she said. "They don't know where their food comes from … and that's a useful skill for life, but not everyone is getting that."
To make a monetary donation to the community garden, residents can make deposits at Belen's City Hall under the community garden account.
To volunteer with the community garden park, contact Dubra Karnes-Padilla at 925-8832, or email Bob White at firstname.lastname@example.com.
