The Life History of an MS Lesion
For this discussion we will be talking about the classic MS lesion which is often called a T2 Hyperintensity. This is the lesion that is most associated with the "Relapses" in the disease. MS does its damage by causing the nerves in localized areas in the brain and spinal cord to lose their protective sheaths, called myelin. At first, when the myelin is being attacked, the body brings a higher blood supply to the attacked area or areas to fight the attack, and they becomes swollen and inflamed. These areas now become "lesions." (A "lesion" is simply an area of abnormality in the brain tissue.) If the areas being attacked are large enough they can be seen on an MRI. At this point, when they are inflamed and blood-engorged, they are called "active lesions" because the inflammation is actively attacking the nerve cells. At first the nerves themselves haven't changed much and they appear (and have the same density) as the healthy areas around them. The body attempts to repair the damage that is being done and sometimes these areas try to re-myelinate, with varying success. They may disappear from the next MRI. They aren't perfect in their function, but the areas may return to a normal appearance.
If the nerves do not re-myelinate and the damage continues, for a long time the lesions sit as scars. These scarred areas contain damaged and dying cells, their blood supply shrinks, and they become dense--more dense than the normal brain around them. These are the classic MS "plaques" and are considered old lesions. They show up as the bright areas, also called "hyperintense," most of us have seen in pictures and on our films. If the attack on the myelin sheath is too strong for the immune system to repair, more and more myelin disappears and the area of nerves eventually dies. Then it completely scars and contracts. The blood flow is decreased to that area and the body tries to reabsorb it. The area then becomes "less dense" than the surrounding normal nerve tissue. After a longer time the scar can reabsorb completely and the area becomes "empty." It's called a black hole.
How the MRI Shows The Different Stages of MS Lesions
When you image these lesions with an MRI you can see different things, depending on the technique, the age (stage) of the lesion, the power of the MRI, and whether contrast is used. The first MRI image is done without contrast. Several different techniques are used in obtaining the images, including two called T1-weighted and T2-weighted. The first pass of the MRI will show old lesions that are big enough to be seen by the power of that MRI machine. WE KNOW that many lesions in MS are too small to be seen in some MRI's. As each new generation of MRI machines becomes available, it is more powerful and more able to show up areas of damage than the previous generation. If the newer, more powerful MRI with a 3-Tesla magnet is used, more lesions will be seen (by at least 25%) than with the older 1.5-Tesla machines. (Please note that "Tesla" refers to the strength of the MRI magnet, and should not be confused with the "weights" of images, here meaning T1 or T2.)
The "classic" old, scarred, mature MS lesion or plaque is somewhat oval in shape, will have well-defined borders and will appear in the white matter. The "classic" MS lesion will also have its long axis perpendicular to the ventricles (the large fluid-filled spaces) of the brain. Characteristic places (but not the only places) are peri-ventricular, juxtacortical, the corpus callosum, the cerebellum and the cervical spine. Also, important and often very symptomatic lesions are found in the brainstem and the thoracic spine. The spinal cord ends at the bottom of the thoracic spine, so there is no such thing as a lumbar spinal cord lesion. The scarred lesions will be evident as light, bright (hyperintense) areas on the T2 images. These are the classic MS lesions or "plaques." But, with just the regular MRI image one CANNOT say if it is old and dormant or if it has active inflammation in or around it.
Now the very old, mostly dead areas where nerve fibers have died will be seen as less dense (empty) spaces or "black holes" on the T1 images. If there are many of these empty areas, the brain will eventually contract and shrink around them. This will be depicted as a loss of brain volume. This is also known as brain atrophy. It is particularly seen in the progressive types of MS and after many manys of disease. In brain atrophy there will be an increased space between the skull and the brain. The interior area of CSF will be larger. Also the deep folds in the brain (called sulci) will appear widened.
Black holes are areas where a good number of the nerve fibers have been lost. But, not all of them are completely dead. New techniques are showing that black hole can heal and disappear, leaving some scarred tissue behind.
The Need For Contrast
For the most part all visible lesions can be seen without contrast. They show up as T2 Hyperintensities just like all lesions. The problem is that the neurologist can't tell if a lesion is old or new. So new activity will be missed and the MRI may be erroneously dismissed as "unchanged" or "no progression." In the inflammation of new lesions there is a breach in the blood-brain barrier. Wherever there is a break in the blood-brain barrier, the contrast will leak into the brain tissue and the areas will "highlight" or "enhance." They show up as even brighter than the brain around them and brighter than an old, scarred lesion. So new lesions will appear as "enhancing," or "active." Also, older hyperintense lesions that have undergone a new attack at their adges or margins. This is also called reactivation. Lesions that have reactivated may show an even brighter enhancing rim or ring. The appearance of an "enhancing ring or rim" is especially characteristic of MS. When you compare the regular MRI to the contrast MRI you can see the increased brightness of this reactivated, old lesion. New lesions with active inflammation willy typically show up for 4 to 6 weeks before they scar down and become "old" lesions.
In some cases a newly active MS lesion may not be visible on a regular MRI because the area of nerves, though inflamed, is still pretty much intact and has normal brain density. On the regular MRI it will look like normal brain. Without contrast it won't show up and will likely be missed. When the next phase of MRI is done the contrast is injected into the bloodstream.
In the inflammation of new lesions there is a breach in the blood-brain barrier. Wherever there is a break in the blood-brain barrier, the contrast will leak into the brain tissue and the areas will "highlight" or "enhance." They show up as even brighter than the brain around them and brighter than an old, scarred lesion. So new lesions will appear as "enhancing," or "active." Also, older hyperintense lesions that have undergone a new attack right around them (also called reactivation) will show an even brighter enhancing rim or ring. The appearance of an "enhancing ring or rim" is especially characteristic of MS. When you compare the regular MRI to the contrast MRI you can see the increased brightness of this reactivated, old lesion. New lesions with active inflammation willy typically show up for 4 to 6 weeks before they scar down and become "old" lesions.
What does the word "ACTIVE" mean?
Some radiologists call new lesion inflammation "active lesions." Others may refer to "new lesions " or "actively enhancing lesions." These all refer to the same thing. Also since some new lesions heal, the MRI's can be compared to old films where they did appear formerly, leading to the conclusion that they have disappeared. In addition, between different sets of MRIs done after some time has passed, the radiologist can see an increase in old and in new activity. Right here it is important to remark that, in discussing MS, the word "active" is used in two different ways. Note: If one is speaking about the appearance of lesions on the MRI, "active" simply means that the lesion has "active inflammation" in it. However, if we are discussing a person's disease and symptoms, an active lesion means one that is currently causing symptoms.
Another word that is used in two different ways in MRI reports is the word "new." If the radiologist is comparing the current MRI to an older one, a "new" lesion will be one that shows up now that didn't show up earlier. It has formed in the time period between the two MRIs. If the radiologist is describing lesions that show enhancemant on an MRI, they might refer to these lesions as "new." The difference is in the context in which the word "new" is used.
In MS the Relapses and Remissions which are so typical of this disease occur because of the attacks on the nerves and then the body's ability to heal some or most of them. So we can often see the reflection of the disease process in the changes of the MRIs done over time.
What is the difference between the T2, T1 and the FLAIR images?
Arggghh... Okay, I was looking up for a good description and didn't readily come across an easy one. I did find a thorough discussion of the T1 and T2 topic. It is a deeply scientific matter of mathematics and physics, and trying to read it made my brain hurt! So, I will describe what I understood. Where the stuff is really technical (i.e., I don't understand it) I will just refer to the "miracle." In the technology of the MRI the complex software that interprets the signal from the magnetic receiver is largely responsible for the difference in techniques.
Remember a "lesion" is just an area of abnormality - from "any" cause. The T1-weighted images and the T2-weighted images refer to the different rates and strengths of the electromagnetic pulse that is sent through the body to the EM receiver. There are long-strong pulses, short-strong pulses, and long- and short- weak pulses, and actually many more. In a miracle the machine and the programmers use these different pulse/spin sequences to make the different tissue structures in the body stand out from each other. In 20+ years of studying the miracle they have discovered that different tissues (brain, bone, liver, blood, etc.) all show up best using different combinations of pulse techniques. They have also discovered that certain combinations of techniques show abnormalities like tumors or scars or whatever.
That's it, folks. I can't get any better than that. I do know that T1 images show the CSF to be white and the brain medium-gray and the bone black. T2 (which I think is the most commonly displayed) shows the bone to be white, the brain medium gray, and the CSF to be black. (They are flip-flops or positive/negatives of one another.) But the computer, during a miracle, compares these two and further distinguishes things that weren't really apparent on either type image alone.
The T2 technique is best for showing mature, dense, scarred lesions, where the oval lesions look brighter than the surrounding brain. This is where the term, "T2 hyperintensities" comes from. All T2 hyperintense lesions are not necessarily from MS. Other disorders like migraines, hypertension, small strokes and others can also cause them. On the other hand, the T1-weighted imaging technique is best for showing the old, reabsorbed "black holes" where the lesions once were. The FLAIR is a little easier for me. It stands for Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery. It is part of the T2 imaging, with a twist. It is another miracle of pulses and signals. Its purpose is to distinguish things that border on areas of fluid ( for our purposes, CSF in the ventricles). Apparently a lesion right up against any pocket of fluid, like the ventricles, can blur out and be missed. The FLAIR technique recovers information and through a miracle makes the lesion visible. There! Here is the link that made my brain hurt:
There are other techniques such as fast-SPIN, STIR, SPIN-echo, but these are techniques used to clarify tiny differences in the tissue and to make lesions stand out more clearly. That's it in a small nutshell.

It affects people from all socioeconomic, educational and religious backgrounds and takes place in same sex as well as heterosexual relationships. Women with fewer resources or greater perceived vulnerability—girls and those experiencing physical or psychiatric disabilities or living below the poverty line—are at even greater risk for domestic violence and lifetime abuse. Children are also affected by domestic violence, even if they do not witness it directly.
While you cannot stop your partner's abuse—only he or she can do that—you can find help and support for yourself.
• Talk with someone you trust: a friend or relative, a neighbor, coworker or religious or spiritual advisor.
• Tell your physician, nurse, psychiatrist or therapist about the abuse.
• Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline 1-800-799-SAFE (7233), your state domestic violence coalition, and/or a local domestic violence agency.
• Call the police if you are in danger.
• Remember, you know your situation better than anyone else. Don't let someone talk you into doing something that isn't right for you.
Abusers use many ways to isolate, intimidate and control their partners. It starts insidiously and may be difficult to recognize. Early on, your partner may seem attentive, generous and protective in ways that later turn out to be frightening and controlling. Initially the abuse is isolated incidents for which your partner expresses remorse and promises never to do again or rationalizes as being due to stress or caused by something you did or didn't do.
• Quick whirlwind romance
• Wanting to be with you all the time; tracking what you're doing and who you're with
• Jealousy at any perceived attention to or from others
• Attempts to isolate you in the guise of loving behavior (You don't need to work or go to school; we only need each other, criticizing friends/family for not caring about you)
• Hypersensitivity to perceived slights
• Quick to blame others for the abuse
• Pressures you into doing things you aren't comfortable with (If you really love me, you'll do this for me)
• Are you ever afraid of your partner?
• Has your partner ever actually hurt or threatened to hurt you physically or someone you care about?
• Does your partner ever force you to engage in sexual activities that make you uncomfortable?
• Do you constantly worry about your partner's moods and change your behavior to deal with them?
• Does your partner try to control where you go, what you do and who you see?
• Does your partner constantly accuse you of having affairs?
• Have you stopped seeing family or friends to avoid your partner's jealousy or anger?
• Does your partner control your finances?
• Does he/she threaten to kill him/herself if you leave?
• Does your partner claim his/her temper is out of control due to alcohol, drugs or because he/she had an abusive childhood?
If you answer yes to some or all of these questions, you could be suffering abuse. Remember you are not to blame and you need not face domestic violence alone.
Domestic violence can lead to other common emotional traumas such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, substance abuse and posttraumatic stress disorder. Abuse can trigger suicide attempts, psychotic episodes, homelessness and slow recovery from mental illness. Children exposed to domestic violence are at risk for developmental problems, psychiatric disorders, school difficulties, aggressive behavior, and low self-esteem. These factors can make it difficult for survivors to mobilize resources. Nonetheless, many domestic violence survivors do not need mental health treatment and many symptoms resolve once they and their children are safe and have support. For others, treatment is in their plan for safety and recovery.

Please note: The FAQ pages at the HPCVL website are continuously being revised. Some pages might pertain to an older configuration of the system. Please let us know if you encounter problems or inaccuracies, and we will correct the entries.
The SunFire grid has a lot of software installed on it. Some of this software requires specific license agreements, other programs are freely accessible. With the use command, most of them can be set up with a single line such as "use fluent" in your shell's startup file. If the software you want to run is not included in our usepackage list, please contact us, and we can include it. If you are using very specific software that is not accessed by other users, you might have to do the setup manually.
Here is a few steps to follow in that case.
a) Check out the documentation for the specific program, including users' manuals and home pages.
b) Inform yourself about licensing. Some software requires each individual user to hold a license, some is covered by a collective license agreement, some does not require a license at all. For example, the computational-fluid-dynamics code "Fluent" requires all users to be covered by their own license, whereas the license agreement for the electronic-structure code "Gaussian" is site-bound, and covers all users for a specific machine. Finally, code such as "Gamess" (another quantum-chemistry program) are free to use by all users, although the distributor encourages registration.
c) Set the proper environment variables. This can usually be done in your shell setup files, since you'll be running the same code on most occasions you log on. These variables might include the PATH, but also variables specific for the program in question. Which ones to set you will be able to find out in most cases from the program documentation. Remember that this is only necessary if no entry exists in the usepackage
configuration file, which can be checked by running "use -l".

There are many other math contests. Most of them are local or on a smaller scale. Here are a few examples; the Math Olympiad for Elementary and Middle Schools; Math League contests organized by different organizations; Orange County Math Field Day for elementary school students; and the Bay Area Math Olympiad, among others. There are Math Field Days in other areas as well. In recent years, students from some top universities are organizing math contests regionally. Successful examples include Harvard MIT Math Tournament (HMMT), Princeton University Math Competition (PUMaC), Cal Tech / Harvey Mudd Math Competition (CHMMC), Stanford Math Tournament.
We are compiling a comprehensive list of them for your reference. Please check back later. You are welcome to submit one that you know. Comments about your experience with it would be appreciated. We encourage our students to participate in math competitions to get exposed to different types of problems, appreciate and gain interest in intelligent activities, and make friends with peers who share the same interest. However, we also stress to our students that it's important to build a solid foundation in mathematical thinking, analytical and logical thinking skills through a systematic training approach. A good performance in any math contest will come naturally. Math contests will eventually fade from your life, but the skills you learn from these experiences will stay with you and help you to grasp any opportunities presented to you.

I thought I'd seen it all. I'll admit that I treat our dogs like they're my kids, my babies. They are. People tease me for boiling chicken each week, for buying blankets for the furniture, for bringing home new toys each week. But how can I not! I want the best for our dogs.
In my quest to find the healthiest dog food, to work with the best vet in town, to find the best dog trainer, I thought I'd seen it all. I wasn't even close.
So far this year, I've discovered…
Shake-a-Paw Greetings – cookie greetings for our dogs
Bone Dry Microfiber Dog Bath Towel with Embroidered Paw Print
And recently I discovered FreshPet who is showing us how to make homemade dog treats by providing fresh cookie dough. When I say fresh, I mean that it arrives in a refrigerated container that can be reused for our purposes and the cookies are ready to bake, made of healthy, fresh ingredients, and our dogs love them!
Homemade dog treats are great for our dogs and a fantastic gift for dog lovers. Can you imagine the surprise when this arrives?

Issues & AdvocacyState
Green Schools for Healthy Children
Model Legislation
A bill to be entitled Green Schools for Healthy Children. This bill finds that green schools:
1. Promote energy savings, effect positive environmental change, improve health and educational achievement, and provide hands-on learning experiences to students and faculty.
2. Help diminish the nation's fossil fuel usage, protect the environment, provide natural light to occupants, improve indoor air quality, and create a superior work/learning environment.
3. Will assist in reducing buildings outsized carbon footprint, as the largest source of emissions and energy consumption in the US, contributing 42% of all carbon emissions, according to the Pew Center on Global Climate Change.
4. Offer financial benefits to school districts and states ranging from four to twenty times the initial cost through energy and water savings.
The general purpose of this legislation is to:
1. Provide various incentives for high performance schools in order to influence school districts to design, construct, and renovate schools to green certification standards.
2. Create a clearinghouse of ideas and plans for school districts in (insert state) to use for design/ construction/ renovation of schools in the state, modeled on the CHPS program - http://www.chps.net/.
3. Promote sustainable design including resource conservation to achieve an immediate 50 percent reduction from the current level of consumption of fossil fuels used to construct and operate new and renovated school buildings. This 50% reduction is possible through the use of CBECS standard: http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cbecs/contents.html
4. Include a comprehensive reporting requirement in which schools provide yearly data on student performance, facility maintenance, energy usage, and water usage.
Section (1) Definitions:
a. "Green School" – School construction projects that receive certification from a green building rating systems, including the United States Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System or the Green Building Initiative's Green Globes Green Building Rating System or comparable green building standard.
b. "High Performance School" - same as Green School, terms are interchangeable.
c. "Environmental Benefits" - quantifiable and qualitative benefits received by students, teachers, and the community as a result of instituting high performance school programs. These benefits include less pollution, decreased water and energy usage, decreased sickness, and improved productivity.
d. Green Building Certification Programs – LEED, LEED for Schools, Green Globes, and other comparable programs.
e. USGBC - "USGBC" means the United States Green Building Council, a nationally recognized organization with a documented utilization record at the federal, state and local level that has developed sustainable building rating systems through transparent, collaborative, and consensus based processes that require independent certification.
f. "LEED for Schools" – "LEED for Schools" means the LEED green building rating system designed by the USGBC that supplements LEED-NC with technical requirements that are specific to children's health, school site issues, and educational facilities.
g. "Public School" – "Public school" means schools owned, operated, or maintained by the __(insert state name)__, or a public charter school chartered by __(insert state name)__, and those schools' educational facilities
h. "School Construction Project" –
means the acquisition, development, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, improvement, architectural planning, and installation of capital facilities consisting of buildings, structures, durable equipment, and land for educational purposes.
i. "Infrastructure Improvements" – improvements made to a school that enhance the current physical building stock. These infrastructure improvements can range from minimal to large-scale improvements.
Section (2) Incentives:
In order to promote the design and construction of green schools requirements must be matched with incentives. These incentives will vary, but the following can be adapted to individual states either alone or in combination. For example,
1. Green building requirements will be applied to all new construction and renovation projects costing over $1 million with an increased reimbursement rate from the state to the local school district for said purpose. The reimbursement rate to municipalities for this purpose will be increased by five percentage points, such that if the current rate of reimbursement is 60% the new rate will now be 65%.
2. A. There is appropriated from the general fund of the state each fiscal year for the fiscal period beginning July 1, 200X and ending July 1, 20XX the sum of $5 million to establish the green schools construction fund to be used exclusively for loans to school districts to construct schools that implement energy conservation measures, targets and green building standards as defined in this legislation.
B. Concordant with this loan program a grant program will be established that provides $5 million yearly to school districts to construct schools to green building standards.
C. These two programs will be administered through the __(insert state name)__ Energy Department. The Energy Department will be responsible for assisting schools in this state in installing renewable energy systems to provide electricity, energy savings, energy production, building heat, and educational opportunities to children in this state.
3. The legislature recognizes that it is cost effective, beneficial for students health and educational achievement, environmentally advantageous, and an investment in __(insert state name)__ future to build schools that maximize energy efficiency, low water usage, renewable energy, and recycling technologies. Therefore the Department of Education will work with the __(insert state name)__ Energy Department to promulgate rules and standards for a maximum of three school districts in the first year of this program to participate in a green schools pilot project. These three school districts will be chosen by the State Board of Education by January 1, 2009 based on applications from school districts that meet the following requirements:
a. One school district shall be in a county with a population of 1 million or more residents;
b. One school district shall be in a county with a population of 250,000 to 999,999 residents; and
c. One school district shall be in a county with a population under 250,000 residents.
Section (3) Rating Systems:
The legislature recognizes that green schools are beneficial to the state and its' citizens due to their cost-effectiveness, health, and environmental benefits. As such, there is established the __(insert state name)__ Green Building Program which will utilize a recognizable green rating system, such as LEED for Schools, LEED, Green Globes, Energy Star, or other such equivalent rating system to certify schools. A locality may also train code or related building officials to certify such buildings in lieu of hiring a third party certification organization.
Section (4) Reporting Requirement:
School districts participating in the green schools program shall distribute to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives a report which outlines the effects of green schools on student performance and health, operational costs, energy consumption, and the environment. This report shall be submitted exactly one year after a green school has been in full operation for a period of [2 or 3] years.

Mutual Mentoring:
A New Paradigm Of An Old Tradition
Examples of Mutual Mentoring
An example of mutual mentoring not happening--we may even call it anti-mentoring--is an incident that has been described by Sister Mary Johnson, S.N.D.deN. Sister Mary has done extensive research on young adults and vocations and has become a popular speaker in regards to vocations. She said this really happened in a community on the East Coast. Three vivacious, talented women had just given up their careers, sold their cars and homes, and said goodbye to family and friends to enter religious life. On the first day of formation class, the director came in, and her first words were "Welcome to a sinking ship." She evidently was not open to the gift and new life these three women could bring to her community.
My favorite example of mutual mentoring happening in my own community is the journey of formation between a young woman from Arkansas and all of us. She is now a perpetually professed member, known as Sister "T". When "T" came to visit, her biggest question was "Can I be myself?" She also kept asking the question "What difference does it make if I become a sister?" She helped us all ask that question of our own lives: "What difference does it make if I am a Sister of St. Benedict?" She would slide down the banisters, whistle in the hallway, and walk up and give an older sister a spontaneous hug and kiss. Over time she mellowed in her expressions--but so did the community. On the day of her profession one of our elderly sisters, not known for her warmth or affection asked me: "You know what Sister "Ts" greatest gift to us is? "I said "No," not knowing what she would say. This sister warmly smiled and proclaimed, "'T' taught us that it is OK to love each other. Yes, "T" taught us and we taught "T," so that both she and we had to give and take regarding our usual ideas of how to do things. Both she and we had to change. Mutual mentoring happened.
Another surprise in my vocation work was the awareness that others outside the community have skills and insights that are needed by us inside community. When I started listening to the laity, even forming a Vocation Advisory Board, I realized the need to be mentored by those outside the community. And the laity have a need to be mentored in understanding our way of life and the Benedictine values.
For all eleven years of my vocation work there were four members of the Vocation Advisory Board who stayed with me through the thick and thin of it. Each one mentored me in a unique way. And I like to think that I mentored them, too! One of the gentlemen owned a local furniture factory and would give me book after book about making sales, marketing, and using the telephone. He told me how honored he was to be able to share his skills with our community and the church. I believe that I, in turn, helped him grow in his faith. I remember his telling me that he had never heard of the word discern and that it was not part of his Catholic upbringing. He began to see that his grade school Catholic education, while very good, was not sufficient to live an adult faith life. A few years ago both he and his wife made a retreat called Christ Renews His Parish. I recall the excitement in his voice as he spoke about the retreat and how his faith had come more alive.

Gorgeous Dentures
Gorgeous Dentures | Veneers | Bonding | Tooth Colored Fillings
Deep Bleaching™ | Current Featured Cases
One of my favorite areas of dentistry is removable prosthodontics (dentures). Many times however dentists do not make dentures or they try to avoid them as much as possible. Because fabricating a great set of dentures is not an easy task, this can be greatly understood. However, the changes are so dramatic they are very rewarding to me. It makes you feel good to finish and see the smile on the patient when they look in the mirror for the first time! Usually the response is "I can't believe it!"
If you are currently wearing a denture that your not happy with or you think you may need dentures please come in for an evaluation. Many times we can have a set of Gorgeous Dentures made in just a few appointments.
Also you may be a candidate for dental implants. If this is the case the amount of chewing ability can be drastically enhanced. Because of some very recent advances in denture technology implants can be used to easily secure your dentures so that you never have to worry about them coming out.
Click here to see some Implant Denture Cases.
- Dr. Glass
This patient had a denture made that she was very unhappy with. She drove several hours to our office after finding our website. She then after a couple of appointments had a new denture made the way she wanted and was very satisfied.
She said the following upon a recent visit to our office: "I just visited my family for vacation and they remarked how great my teeth looked. They even looked at them very close. They never could figure out that I had a denture and I never told them! I am so happy I found your office!"
All the photos below (before and after) are taken the same day on the deliver appointment.

In the flurry over ObamaCare's collapse, some have lost sight of a more serious and far-reaching failure by Obama. This report from Time's Massimo Calabresi observes that in addition to "his party's loss of Ted Kennedy's seat in Massachusetts, the collapse of health care reform and a disorganized war against the banks," Obama has a really big foreign-policy problem: his Iran policy is an abject failure. Engagement was supposed to wean the mullahs off their nukes, or at least demonstrate to recalcitrant powers like Russia and China that we had exhausted all reasonable options so we could proceed with those crippling sanctions. Calabresi asks: "So, how's that working? Not very well, by all indications." Not well at all.
We've blown through deadline after deadline. No progress has been made in rounding up support, even as Iran snubbed the West and murdered its own people. The Russians and Chinese still oppose sanctions:
But where Russia had previously taken the lead in blocking sanctions efforts, that role has now fallen to China, which has a rapidly growing stake in Iran's energy sector. … Without China, which holds a Security Council veto, there is no prospect of meaningful sanctions at the U.N. That in turn means difficulty getting tough sanctions from all the European countries, some of whom can't act without U.N. approval.
Meanwhile, the Obami are watering down the "crippling" sanctions before we even get to the process of negotiating with "our" side and/or the UN. And then, even if we did get some consensus on mild pinpricks, we'd have to roll them out, implement them, and see if they were "working." But frankly, we're not likely to get an agreement on anything worth implementing, even after all that genuflecting to the Chinese. The end result:
Now Obama faces the unpleasant reality that neither the engagement track nor the sanctions track appear to be going anywhere. His defenders at home and abroad say it was the right way to proceed, but skeptics of Obama's policy are emerging, even in his own party. "What exactly did your year of engagement get you?" asks a Hill Democrat.
Good question: what did we get? Well the mullahs got time to consolidate their grip on the throats of the Iranian people while gaining some international legitimacy. The Iranian protesters got their funding cut and saw the United States go practically mute when it might have mattered the most. The U.S. seems only to have frittered away its moral standing in the world. What we got was another year in which Iran moved closer to membership in the international nuclear-arms club.
Compared to this, health care has been a triumph. But unlike harebrained domestic schemes, getting nowhere is not good enough when dealing with a revolutionary Islamic state bent on acquiring nuclear arms. Both the United States and Israel will soon be confronted with the choice that Obama's policy was designed to avoid: engage in military action or live with a nuclear-armed Iran. (Who among us seriously thinks Obama won't be inclined to do the latter?) Obama's Iran-engagement strategy, among a host of misguided efforts and half-baked ideas, is arguably the most egregious policy failure of his first year. It certainly is the most dangerous.

NYC Neighborhood Map: Lower Manhattan, Tribeca, and Chinatown
Wall Street, anchored by the New York Stock Exchange, extends east of Broadway, its bolt-upright skyscrapers blocking out the sun. Nearby, the new National September 11 Memorial includes a handsome pair of cascading fountains built in the footprints of the Twin Towers, just below the glimmering facade of One World Trade. Heading northeast past South Street Seaport and City Hall, you hit Chinatown, where bustling streets and culinary adventures abound. To the west, Tribeca is New York's wealthiest zip code, filled with former warehouses that have been transformed into fashionable restaurants, nightclubs, and boutiques.
This neighborhood overview and travel map of Lower Manhattan/Tribeca/Chinatown comes from the Sixth Edition of Moon Metro New York. The maps available in our Metro guidebooks contain markers that correspond to listings for sights, hotels, and other attractions. These markers have been removed in this free online map.

By Linda email@example.com Clayton County Police said robbery was the apparent motive in an early morning shooting Sunday at the Laurel Pointe Apartments, located at 225 Johnson Road, Forest Park. Sabas Caballero, 31, of Forest Park was shot in the back around 1 a.m., Sunday, and transported to Atlanta Medical Center in stable but critical condition, according to Clayton County Police Officer Kevin Hughes. "Robbery appears to be the motive for the incident," Hughes said in a statement. Witnesses reported seeing two to three men running from the scene of the shooting, and then speeding away in a white vehicle, according to a police report. Sunday's shooting occurred just weeks after a fatal Mother's Day shooting at the same apartment complex. Chavez Denard Watson, 25, of Forest Park, was shot and killed May 10, outside building 46 at the Laurel Pointe Apartments. Police did not release a motive in the May shooting, but did name a suspect. On May 19, authorities announced they had obtained warrants for the arrest of Russell James Carter, 23, on charges of murder and aggravated assault in connection with Watson's death. Police continue to seek information leading to Carter's whereabouts, according to Clayton County Police Officer Tim Owens. Anyone with information in either of the shootings is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at (404) 577-8477.

The "FEATHER" is all about the Mississippi
Delta Flyway Region--a duck hunting mecca…
It was 1972, back when
lead-shot was still legal. I was a young boy at the age of 4, in the
duck blind for my first time. My father would pass on the tradition
as his forefathers did for him. As a flock of Pintails were
decoying, I would hear "get em"— as I would squeeze the trigger of
the old side-by-side .410Ga. The gun was a Stevens, an old
"hand-me-down" from a couple of generations before. No telling how
many ducks expired before the barrel of the old relic. In fact, my
father still owns that very gun that myself and 3 brothers learned
on, just as the old pros like dad, grandpa, and my uncles once did.
For me, those days are neither gone-nor forgotten. Now many years
later, we are still enjoying the same seasonal sport with our young,
passing on the tradition; along with many fine folks as clients too.
Plaquemines Parish's lower Mississippi River
"delta" region offers some of the finest duck hunting in the
country. Folks from many different migratory flyway regions across
the country visit Fin & Feather annually, in search of mainly one
thing in mind; and that is bagging the variety of different
waterfowl species which this region is so renowned for. You will
generally harvest any of the following species common to this region
including: pintail, mallard, wigeon, gadwall, blue and green-winged
teal, redhead, black duck, canvasback, scaup, and shoveler. Your hunt will consist of hunting from a flat bottom aluminum duck boat, which is a safe and comfortable shallow water vessel powered with an air-cooled Mud Buddy engine for easy navigation by your guide throughout the delta estuary. We also offer our area's
"Cast and Blast"- where you can enjoy fine Louisiana saltwater
fishing after the morning's duck hunt.
Come and experience a duck
hunting adventure, Fin and Feather style...
