Got a gift card to a mall that I never go to (Victoria Gardens) so i ended up going into Urban Outfitters. Found the following
Niki & The Dove - Instinct 2LP (Green vinyl exclusive)
Father John Misty - Fear Fun (Blue vinyl exclusive)
There was also the new Hot Chip 2LP on Red and Blue vinyl (exclusive?), but the sleeve was pretty banged up. Anyone know how often they get exclusives? I never go into that store, so not sure if it's worth making a trip every once in a while. There's one across the street from amoeba, but it never crosses my mind to go into it.
Woah. Yeah, I never even think to check Urban, but I do know I got an Altamont catalog from there because it had an exclusive No Age 10" once. Definitely something to check out.
Arriving today via Amazon:
The Gun Club - Pastoral Hide and Seek
The Gun Club - Lucky Jim
Never heard either. Incredibly excited.
Urban gets quite a few exclusives. Grimes Visions on purple vinyl is pretty cool. Father John Misty Fear Fun on this sweet turquoise blue, Feist's reminder on red.. some others. They also have alot of picture discs but not sure if those are exclusive. It's worth checking their website everyone once in awhile to see - they always list their exclusives on it.
Awesome, thanks for the list! Guess I will have to track down that Hot Chip at another store.

Frank Ocean - Channel Orange arrived today. I'm listening to it now. It's 2 LP's and the back has the full track listing with song times on the back and in the bottom corner it says "limited edition". It sounds great vocally and musically BUT there is subtle static that can be heard coming in during the quiet parts on occasion. I want to stress it's very subtle but absent on other new vinyl i've tested so it's not a dirty needle and the records are shiny clean. I'm playing it fairly loud and loving it so it's not ruining the experience at all. This was ordered on Discogs from a seller in Germany.
Girls Names - The New Life
Their new album is going to fucking RULE. I'm telling you guys, listen to this shit now.

LAFARGEVILLE It turns out locally produced food with healthy ingredients isnt popular only among those with two legs.
Canines arent as picky as humans who badger restaurant servers with questions about the origins of food, but healthy eating is equally important for dogs, said 59-year-old Donna M. Russell, who opened 4 Paws Barkerie last summer at her house, 23085 Route 411. The bakery for dogs has set itself apart by selling biscuits made only from locally grown ingredients and containing no preservatives or salt.
After a successful summer selling treats at events, Mrs. Russell is focusing on increasing online sales through her website, www.4pawsbarkerie.com. Facebook and Twitter pages soon will be linked to the website, which offers an array of treats including gift baskets and birthday cakes.
Mrs. Russell said her business was hatched after she experimented with treats for her familys 4-year-old Lab-hound mix, Max. She said she was encouraged when she saw that Max liked the homemade treats more than ones that had preservatives.
He liked them so much that I tried making them for family members and friends, Mrs. Russell said.
Last year, she acquired a pet food license from the state Department of Agriculture and Markets and developed a business plan.
Spring wheat used in the treats is harvested at Old McDonalds Farm in Sackets Harbor, then ground into whole-wheat flour at North Country Farms in Watertown. Peanut butter comes from Martins Pretzels in Theresa. The eggs come from chickens at Roggie Farms in Carthage.
People today are trying to feed their pets healthy, just like theyre trying to eat healthy, Mrs. Russell said. Thats why Im using only locally grown ingredients. You can buy natural treats from Petco, but theyre made in Washington.
She said disease prevention is another motivator for dog owners seeking healthy pet food. A consistently healthy diet can help prevent trips to the vet to treat ailments such as diabetes and kidney disease.
Finding the right flavors for pets also is important, Mrs. Russell said. For instance, Max likes only the peanut butter and meat-flavored treat varieties such as chicken, beef and pork. Other dogs enjoy the gluten-free banana-berry treats.
If the finished treats dont make Maxs tail wag, its back to the drawing board, Mrs. Russell said.
A batch sent to her friend Lynn Tritten in Myrtle Beach, S.C., was a success. She took them out of the mailbox and her dog could smell them, Mrs. Russell said. He started ripping the package open when she was bringing it in, so she put the treats in a jar.
The dog biscuits are sold in Clayton at Gold Cup Farms River Rat Cheese, North Country Express and the Clayton Food Cooperative; in Alexandria Bay at Thousand Islands Animal Hospital and the Gals Place, and in Watertown at Big M and Blue Seal Feeds.

LOWVILLE More than a dozen school administrators from Lewis and St. Lawrence counties met Thursday with state Sen. Joseph A. Griffo to air concerns and discuss education funding.
I yield to your counsel, said Mr. Griffo, R-Rome, who set up the session here after being unable to attend the Jefferson-Lewis School Boards Associations legislative breakfast held a couple of weeks ago in Watertown.
Both St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services Superintendent Thomas R. Burns and Jefferson-Lewis BOCES Superintendent John J. Boak Jr. expressed concern that state education officials dont appear to have a plan for school districts heading toward financial insolvency.
Its something they have to plan for now, Mr. Burns said of cash-strapped districts.
Mr. Griffo said there may be a task force established to advise such districts and other local governments, and he said he hopes officials may have other ideas that havent been released yet.
The money proposed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo for area school districts is probably not enough, but the good news is at least youre seeing an upward trend in education funding, Mr. Griffo said.
He said he would like to see $245 million in funding that has been withheld from districts primarily ones in New York City that failed to establish teacher evaluation policies redistributed to all complying districts.
You did your work, he said. You played by the rules.
Mr. Griffo said he also favors elimination of competitive grants for schools and increased funding for low-wealth districts and plans to introduce soon legislation requiring that any new state mandates have funding attached.
However, the senator noted that upstate and downstate lawmakers tend to be divided on school funding distribution and other issues and acknowledged that he is not really certain how his proposals will fare, particularly under the Senates new bipartisan coalition leadership.
Mr. Griffo also asked administrators for their thoughts on the governors proposals of longer school days and full-day prekindergarten.
South Lewis Central School Superintendent Douglas E. Premo said that while extended time could provide educational benefits, mandating longer hours would force districts to pay staffers much more under their union contracts.
Its going to be a big dollar amount, he said.
Mr. Griffo said he would rather fund pilot programs at several districts first before implementing it on a more extensive basis.
Funding should be available for districts without prekindergarten before expanding existing programs, Beaver River Central School District Superintendent Leueen Smithling said.
Were the only district in the county that doesnt have pre-K, she said.
St. Lawrence Central School District Superintendent Stephen M. Putman questioned a requirement that districts each year conduct an internal audit of procedures, along with their regular external audit.
Its a totally unfunded mandate, he said.
Mr. Premo suggested that the September deadline for approval of districts second-year annual professional performance review plan be pushed back to allow districts more time to look over teacher growth scores from this school year.
Thats a reasonable request, Mr. Griffo said, noting he would pass along the recommendation.
Following the session at Lowville Academy and Central School, the senator made a brief visit to the Lewis County Sheriffs Department to meet its new police dog, Wyman, and handler Daryl R. Ortlieb.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate community editor
Sunnyside officials approved major changes in their city's policies and personnel over the past two meetings as they ratified a long contested public safety contract with East Carbon and accepted the resignation of councilmember Mike Marquez on Oct. 2. and Oct. 7 respectively.
Marquez, who had served as a councilmember for five years over two separate terms addressed the city by formal letter on Sept. 25 stating that while he had enjoyed his time on the council in service to Sunnyside city he was resigning because of personal reasons.
The council expressed their regret at his decision but excepted his letter of resignation formally via a unanimous vote. Marquez will continue to work in his position as city maintenance supervisor, a position he has held since 1995.
Due to state law, the council now has 30 days to fill the position by appointing a new council person. According to city recorder Pauly Sanderson, Sunnyside will begin advertising for applicants immediately and then conduct interviews with potential council members on Oct. 21.
The requirements for becoming a Sunnyside councilmember are limited to the following three stipulations:
â¢The applicant must be a one year resident of Sunnyside city.
â¢They must be a citizen of the United States.
â¢They must be registered to vote in the city of Sunnyside.
Those interested in applying must contact the city and fill out an application that must be returned before the closing deadline on Oct. 17 at 4 p.m.
When appointed, the new city official will act within the council until the next municipal election in November of 2009 when they will be required to run for the remainder of the two-year-term.
While the Oct. 21 selection meeting will be open to the public, city officials will most likely conduct interviews in a closed session as the issue will be considered a personnel matter, according to Sanderson.
In prior city business, the council ratified the new public safety agreement after months of negotiations with East Carbon City.
The agreement's primary point of contention was East Carbon's request for increased payment for the continued provision of comprehensive law enforcement coverage.
In the ratified contract, Sunnyside agreed to pay East Carbon $60,000 per year, with a $2,000 charge for animal control at a annual increase that would be tied to the consumer price index, which rates the yearly increase for cost of living.
The contract stipulates that a board will be convened to oversee police matters consisting of East Carbon Chief of Police Sam Leonard and the mayors of the two cities.
Additionally, Sunnyside will receive a quarterly report detailing the crime within their city.
The document will be statistical in nature, per the advise of East Carbon Attorney Jeremiah Humes. A statistical document will give Sunnyside the opportunity to observe crime trends within their city.
Sunnyside also agreed to keep their criminal proceeding in the East Carbon Justice Court, however their civil may be transferred to the Price courts, according to East Carbon recorder Liz Marquez.

20 Movies Every Educator Should See
These are the top 20 movies every educator should watch. While every movie is not specifically about educators, there is definitely something to take away from each. These movies are not listed in order of importance, just the order they came to me. Each title is linked to their IMDB page.
Summer School
Mark Harmon tries to be the teacher he is not and only succeeds in reaching his students when he is the teacher they need him to be. Be true to yourself and the students will listen.
Lean on Me
Morgan Freeman plays Joe Clark, the principal who is willing to do anything it takes to help make his school safe and create an environment for all students to learn. Sometimes doing what's tough is what's best for kids.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
As a teacher, this movie is a bit funnier when you think about the things Ferris is able to pull off and the craziness Edward Rooney, the principal, must have had to deal with to push him over the edge.
Dead Poets Society
One of the main reasons I wanted to be an English Teacher my captain, my captain.
Stand and Deliver
This is a great movie about reaching students who feel like they have no hope of success in their life. Looking at it now, it also has something to say about standardized testing.
Searching for Bobby Fischer
A young chess prodigy is pushed by his father and chess teacher to be the best, when he just wants to play. Thought provoking story about how we treat gifted children. Do we really know what is best for them?
The Karate Kid
A wimpy kid is trained to defend himself by a old Japanese man. What I always take away from this movie is the unconventional ways that Mr. Miyagi taught Daniel. Sometimes the unconventional is the way to go.
Max Fischer, played by Jason Schwartzman, is the student that seems to be involved in everything, but can't seem to get his studies done. Bill Murray should have won an Oscar for his performance. I think every school has a Max, but how do we reach them?
Besides being the right thing to do, Carrie showcases a great reason on why kids should never bully other students. You never who has telekinetic powers, so be nice to everyone.
Mean Girls
Tina Fey does a great job with this script showing how high school gossip and overall cattiness plays out. It is a funny take on a serious issue in some high schools.
Reese Witherspoon and Mathew Broderick (now playing a teacher) are amazing in this film showing the dark underbelly of student government. It is a funny movie that, as a teacher, makes you wonder what student leadership is all about.
It might seem like a bit dated for today's schools, but Heather's commentary on cliques is still relevant. Heathers is an excellent movie that still packs a punch today.
Dazed and Confused
Forget about the herbal parts of the movie and focus on Jeremy London's character. He is supposed to be "the jock" and commit to being a certain person. He fights to be himself and that is something to be admired.
The Breakfast Club
A movie that is a must-see for everyone. When I watch the movie now, it reminds me that no matter how I might perceive a student to be, there is a good chance they have some darker parts they are just waiting to share. Sometimes they just need someone to ask.
Finding Forrester
One of Sean Connery's last movies before he retired and he is magnificent. A young man gets into a fancy prep school on a basketball scholarship, but it turns out he is a great writer who butts heads with his tyrannical English teacher. Connery is reclusive writer who helps the student find his voice. There is more to students than we realize at times.
The Mighty
This is a story about two unlikely friends that have much to learn from one another. I stumbled upon this movie a few years ago and loved it. I will always stop and watch it.
Real Genius
Val Kilmer is very funny in this movie. He mentors a young kid who skips ahead to college. It's interesting to see what the pressure of being a "genius" can sometimes do to a person.
School Ties
This has an all-star cast dealing with bigotry during the 1950's. Even though it deals with anti-Semitism, the story truly applies to all types of discrimination students might face in schools.
Super 8
The reason this movie is on the list is because I feel it nailed the type of relationship young boys have at a particular age. JJ Abrams did an amazing job of writing exactly how young boys act when they are goofing around or when there is a girl in their midst. When dealing with boys in the classroom, this movie might help you make sense of their actions.
Stand by Me
This is another example of boys being boys, but also young kids being forced to deal with unfair expectations or labels based on their families. Whether it's not living up to your all-star brother or trying to escape the reputation of a criminal brother, fighting to be yourself is never easy.

As far as the racial comments go about White heroes rescuing Black children or other racial stereotypes, "Freedom Writers" is a TRUE story about a real person- she was White, but that didn't define her behavior- she was a TEACHER. The spirit of the teacher flowed through her and to them. She could have been purple for all that mattered. I also have to nominate "Footloose"- there is a moral dilemma within the great music and dancing- a spiritual crisis-= and a generational conflict that is a part of every student's life.
I hope that the film portrayed the reality in Freedom Writers, and I certainly don't denigrate the good work any well-intentioned teacher does. My point is simply that there are thousands of teachers who are self-defined people of color who have done just as good, if not a better job, of educating our youth, yet their voice is largely unheard on the silver screen. While not perfect, I enjoyed Half Nelson, a film which purposefully sought to flip racial stereotypes in large part.
Thank you everyone for your recommendations. Here are a few more that came in via email:
Shorouq wants to add "Dangerous Minds" to the list saying that the movie touched his heart. In the film, Michelle Pfeiffer plays an ex-marine teacher who struggles to connect with her students in an inner city school.
Rebecca and Gia both recommend "Mr. Holland's Opus", which is one of my favorites as well. Richard Dreyfuss is great as a frustrated composer who finds fulfillment as a high school music teacher.
And finally, Sofia recommends "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie", which won Maggie Smith an Academy Award for her role as a headstrong young teacher in a private school in 1930s Edinburgh.
I personally hated Freedom Writers, and not only because the White savior theme made me uncomfortable. I remember watching her marriage fall apart because of the amount of time spent on her job and I could see only too well how that would/could happen to me very quickly.
Honestly, as a Latina teacher who teaches primarily students of color, the only teacher movies I can watch repeatedly without feeling incredibly depressed or uncomfortable are Stand and Deliver and Akeelah and the Bee.
If you really want to see a depressing movie about teaching see Teachers with Nick Nolte and JoBeth Williams. If you are offended by nudity skip the first and last 5 minutes.
It is a great movie and I think it tells much about the stae of the profession but it is hardly a morale booster.
I could not agree with your comment more. Was this teacher's pereformance and success anymore noteworthy because she was white and her students were Black? I am a white man who taught in all Black schools for the final 20 years of my career. I had many successes during that time and absolutely none of those successes were due to my race. I worked hard and treated all students with dignity and respect and elicited their best efforts.
If the teacher in the movie was more effective than I it had nothing to do with the race of either teacher or child.
Plz add " Taree Zameen Par" (like stars on earth) and Hawa Hawaii (like a wind). These two pole opposite Bollywood movies show the two very different aspects of education.
The former shows how a kid having despite having all the facilities (a perfect family, a perfect school, good economic condition) is not able to perform good despite some limitations ( dislexia and motor coordination skills) which in turn overshadow his genius ( such as in painting and imagination) until a teacher who has gone through the same conditions realizes it and helps him.
the latter, however highlights how a kid having a promising talent for skating and a devoted teacher faces problems due to severe economic conditions. Interestingly the teacher recognizes this limitation very late. He learns a lesson, that having a pupil means taking care of his life as a whole if required.
Mohammad, thanks for the recommendations. Both Taree Zameen Par and Hawaa Hawaii look like heartwarming films, and I've added them to my queue of films to watch.
thanks Samer for considering my suggestion. Both are available on YouTube with english subtitles.
Remember the Titans, Conrack
thanks Samer for considering my suggestion. Both are available on YouTube with english subtitles.

Yeah! I've been enjoying these. I think backpacking on skis and snowshoes should be open for discussion. FWIW.
Disco is only kidding (I think!!! :D) about shutting down the show for talking about backcountry skiing.D-low and I are very much into skiing (Nordic backcountry in particular) and it was fun to discuss winter backpacking that just happened to take place via skis. Disco was not quite sure what to say. ;)
Paul, I enjoy your guys' podcasts. I like to listen to em while doing chores, or just sitting around spacing out... fun stuff.Hey, a quick note - your url above is missing the "the".

Let me try to help clarify with a howto:
First, set things up:
log in as root.
stop mysql (/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql stop)
start mysql in ignore mode (/usr/bin/safe_mysqld
--skip-grant-tables &)
now, change the password for root user:
mysql -p
<enter root password? if requested, or don't use
the -p option>
use mysql;
update user set password=password('newpass');
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql stop # Stop the insecure
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start # restart it in
normal mode
Ok,now root's password is 'newpass'. Now, to
change password for user 'joe_user', do this as
mysqladmin -u joe_user password newpass -p
(enter root password - newpass in this case)
Repeat for all users (bug please don't use
'newpass' as the password!).
I wish I had found a way to do this without having
to type the new password on the command line, but
I could not. Hopefully someone else will figure
it out and comment here...
Hope this saves someone the time *I* spent on

I just downloaded the Linux 3.23.49a RPMs and the
default location for the creation of mysql.sock is
NOT /tmp !! It's actually in /var/lib/mysql. This is
quite serious because not only doesn't this match
all the online docs and mysqld man page, it also
causes a problem if MySQL isn't running when you
configure PHP because the latter defaults to
/tmp/mysql.sock and if you then try to connect
locally to mysql via PHP, it'll fail.

I was having trouble getting MySQL to recognize my Unix/FreeBSD server's timezone. I kept reading on this site that I needed to set the TZ environmental variable.
After a couple of hours of frustration trying to find out how you define an environmental variable (which I'm no closer to solving than I was before all this started), I discovered that upon restart, MySQL seemed to be getting the timezone information from ~/etc/localtime on the server.
I overwrote that localtime file with the one for my timezone as provided by my servers' host, restarted MySQL, and had no problems; MySQL picked up my time zone perfectly.
Just for gits and shiggles, I tried a few other time zones (PST/PDT, MST/MDT, CST/CDT, EST/EDT, Fiji's, Kabul's, Baghdad's, Tokyo's, Honolulu's, UTC, GMT, etc). Just as what happened with my local time zone (which is CST/CDT), MySQL recognized and used the new time zone.
Hopefully this will help someone in a similar situation as mine in the future!

Thats smart Brent Butler I have the same problem I want to change the time zone of mysql (ver. 4.1.2), but when I opened the file /etc/localtime, it has following mess:
Please tell me what should I modify it to, to change it to the time zone of Pakistan, thank you.
|Posted by Brent Butler on January 3 2005 7:52pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
Kamal Siddiqi--
I haven't the slightest clue what information is contained within these files, but on my particular server, they were all located in this directory:
Upon exploring that directory, I found files for all major timezones within the United States and a slew of others, including Karachi, Pakistan. I believe they are all a function of FreeBSD, but I'm honestly not sure.
Since I only barely have a grasp as to how all this functions, I would recommend "Googling" your way to your solution. To see some of these time zones in action, take a visit to http://www.brentbutler.com/timezones.html
|Posted by Jean-Serge Gagnon on February 1 2005 7:14pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
On RedHat systems, the /etc/localtime file is normally a link to your time zone file in /usr/share/zoneinfo.
You should use dateconfig or redhat-config-time to change since other files may need to be updated (like /etc/sysconfig/time), but with regards to the localtime file, it's as simple as:
rm -f /etc/localtime
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime
BTW, these are binary files, not text.
|Posted by Chad MILLER on March 8 2006 2:31pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
Note: The contents of the timezone file is not human-editable. It's a description to the computer how it should behave for timezones, with leap years Daylight Saving Time, etc etc.
One never edits those files. One does occasionally change the symlink to point to a different timezone-data file (or copy it, or hard-link it).
|Posted by Lee Wood on July 4 2008 4:38pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
For the benefit of anyone wanting to set the timezone to UTC, on a Macintosh, you can go through the symbolic link method:
$ sudo bash
$ rm -f /etc/localtime
$ ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/UCT /etc/localtime
, or you can use the "System Preferences"/"Date & Time"/"Time Zone" panel, and set the 'Nearest City' to UTC.

Invariably, being a bruiser, I get stuck with some large galoop when it comes to the fireman's carry in Navy PT. Like poor Sgt. Andre Lobban, carrying a lively looking casualty:
Um ladies, please un-doff (put on) your earmuffs. Guys, should you be ever be carried in a fireman's carry, please make sure you are (properly) anatomically arranged. If you are ill-prepared south of the equator, in your tropical region, it'll be a mistake you'll never make again. I speak from experience. The bad news, I was in pain for about thirty minutes. The good news, I was finally able to sing La Donna Mobile in soprano. A feat not repeated in the Northern Hemisphere since my incident. . .

I'm overweight and I want to start eating better, but I have no idea where to start. How can I make my meals healthier?
— Hungry for Information
We commend you on your decision to eat healthier! With so much conflicting information out there about diet and nutrition, we understand your confusion.
Here are the facts: Research shows that you can significantly decrease your chances of developing cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other chronic diseases by eating a varied diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meat, and low in saturated fats and cholesterol.
These tips will help you build a more nutritious diet:
To create a healthy eating plan that's right for you, talk with your doctor. A dietitian can provide great information and support, as well.
Bon appetit!
On my doctor's Web page, her list of credentials includes the fact that she is board certified. What does board certification mean?
— Curious
You're asking an important question. Over the years, board certification has become an increasingly important and expected credential.
All doctors must graduate from medical school and complete the requirements for licensure, which vary by state and often include an examination and an internship or other graduate medical education. Then, doctors who choose to specialize in one area of medicine, such as pediatrics, family medicine or orthopaedic surgery, complete a residency that ranges from 3 to 7 years, depending on the specialty.
During or after completing a residency, a doctor may choose to take a comprehensive exam to become certified by the medical board that oversees their specialty. For example, my own board certification in Emergency Medicine comes from the American Board of Emergency Medicine.
Some specialty boards require oral as well as written examinations, and surgical boards often require case reviews. The timeline for completing the certification process varies by specialty.
Once passing this rigorous examination process, a doctor becomes board certified. Most medical boards require doctors to maintain certification by continuing medical education and periodically becoming recertified by passing additional examinations.
For a doctor to become board certified, he or she must demonstrate thorough knowledge of all aspects of their specialty. The certifying board stands behind the doctor as having achieved the highest level of skill in that specialty. Board certification indicates that a doctor has made a commitment to meeting the highest standards in their field and maintaining those standards.
For most of us, board certification represents the achievement of a goal; the culmination of all our years of training. It marks us as the specialist we set out to become.
The Portage Health medical staff voted in 2004 to require all doctors joining our medical staff after that date to be board certified within five years after completing their residency. Currently, 87 percent of Portage Health's physicians are board certified.
You can ask your doctor or the administration of the healthcare organization where they work. At Portage Health, we include our doctors' board certifications on our Web site.
Thank you for your excellent question!
My brother, who has snored for years, was recently diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. I snore pretty loudly, as well. What is obstructive sleep apnea? How do I know if I might be at risk?
When we snore, the tissue in our nose and the back of our throat vibrates and makes noise. That tissue – instead of simply vibrating – can partially or completely collapse, blocking the passage of air to our lungs. The temporary stoppages in breathing that result are called apneas. Since they occur from obstructions in our airway while we sleep, the condition is called obstructive sleep apnea(OSA).
Symptoms of OSA include snoring, fatigue and sleepiness during the day. Your friends or family members also may notice that you stop breathing while you sleep. Children with obstructive sleep apnea have difficulty concentrating, may perform poorly in school, and sometimes are labeled as being lazy or diagnosed with attention deficit disorder.
Physicians care about OSA for both its short-term and long-term consequences. In the short term, people with OSA frequently are sleepy during the day. This not only makes for poor quality of life, but it has been shown to dramatically increase the risk for car crashes. In the long term, OSA has been associated with an increase in high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, stroke, heart attack and sudden death.
OSA usually is diagnosed by a test called polysomnography, also known as a sleep study. A sleep technologist monitors the patient while he or she sleeps, looking for signs of obstructive sleep apnea or other sleep-related problems.
In children, untreated OSA can lead to permanent changes in the way the nose, throat and mouth develop. These changes lead to the child having OSA as an adult.
Fortunately, OSA is treatable. In most adults, OSA can be treated by a device that delivers a small amount of air pressure to the nose and throat while you sleep. In children, removing the tonsils and adenoids usually cures the condition.
Thank you for your question!
My friend had a three-day stay at Portage Health recently for pneumonia. She was cared for by a hospitalist. What is a hospitalist?
A hospitalist is a physician who spends most or all of their time caring for patients in the hospital. They do this during shifts when they remain at the hospital and have no other duties. They devote their time strictly to taking care of patients already in the hospital, managing new patients as they come in to the hospital, and providing consulting services when requested by other doctors. They are immediately accessible in person to patients and nurses in the hospital.
Hospitalists represent an emerging new medical specialty. They come from family medicine or internal medicine training and often with a focus on hospital and critical care. With dedication to hospital care they gain greater experience in providing care to ill patients in the hospital.
This program at Portage Health began in May 2008 and operates from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Most Portage Health physicians are requesting that the hospitalist care for their patients in the hospital. Dr. Terry Kinzel, Dr. Monsoor Khokhar and Dr. Lori Vaughan are our Portage Health hospitalists. They serve our patients in the hospitalist capacity.
Hospitalists offer the opportunity for improved service by their immediate accessibility and improved care from their greater experience in caring for hospitalized patients.
After a long battle with heart disease, my mother died last year. What can I do to improve my heart health?
Signed, Worried
I'm so sorry that you lost your mother. Heart disease claims about a million lives each year; it is the No. 1 cause of death for women and men in the United States. Here's how you can take action to significantly decrease your risk of heart disease.
If any of your immediate family members developed heart disease, your own heart is at an increased risk.
Talk with your physician about your concerns and ask how you can boost your overall health.
Request a full physical and blood screening to check your weight, blood pressure, blood sugar levels and cholesterol levels. Review these numbers with your doctor and discuss ways you can lower any dangerously high results.
Even a casual habit greatly increases your chances of developing heart disease and other serious ailments.
For heart-healthy meals, choose vegetables, fruit, whole grains and fish. Avoid foods that are high in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium.
Exercising for 30 minutes a day, five days a week, can help ward off heart disease. You don't have to join a gym — walking works.
For most people, a weight loss of five to 10 pounds can help prevent high blood pressure and diabetes, both of which are serious risk factors for heart disease.
These simple lifestyle changes can help you protect your most vital organ for a lifetime of good health. Bravo to you for taking steps to keep your heart strong!

Steve Redgrave launches EasyConverter at BETT
Sir Steve welcomes innovative new software to dyslexic and visually impaired computer users
11th Jan, 2007
Five-times Olympic gold medallist, Sir Steve Redgrave, visited the Dolphin stand at the BETT Show 2007 today to launch our innovative new software product, designed to help visually impaired and dyslexic students take maximum advantage of computer technologies.
Spearheading the latest advances in converting standard printed books, graphics and texts into alternative formats using 'altformat' software, Dolphin EasyConverter will:
- quickly and easily create DAISY, Braille, Large Print, text and MP3 files, without the need for alternative format creation expertise
- handle a wide range of input files including Word and PDF documents, html and text
- scan paper documents and simply convert them to an alternative format of choice
- effortlessly manipulate graphics and diagrams, and add text, audio or Braille descriptions where considered beneficial
- enable the user to choose an automatic creation option or edit the intermediary file to suit their need
- allow intuitive and intelligent large print conversion, carefully handling page breaks, headings, graphics and other original formatting features
- act as a simple to use, yet powerful tool that saves hours of laborious manual conversion.
Sir Steve Redgrave, who is dyslexic and with his daughter a long-standing user of Dolphin products, has welcomed the launch of EasyConverter. He said: "As with the other Dolphin Easy range products, EasyConverter is really simple to use. This is very important because many people with dyslexia suffer from short-term memory problems, so remembering complicated keystroke configurations can be tricky.
"It's great that a British company like Dolphin Computer Access is a world leader in regularly introducing innovative software which can make such a huge impact on the education of young people and on the everyday lives of adults too."

|Unemployment Jumps in June
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 30 July 2013 10:19
Unemployment rates took another turn in the wrong direction for 81 of North Carolina's counties in June while improving for 14 counties, and remained the same in five. In the High Country, Ashe County, with both good and bad economic news over the past week,
saw the unemployment rate jump .4% to 11.4%, while Avery's rate dropped .2% to 10.1%. In Watauga, the rate inched up .1% to 8.2%. Ashe County received news of new jobs for the GE plant there, with planned expansion over the next year, while hearing that the Gates Plant—a long time staple in the area, may close by the end of the year. State-wide, Scotland County had the highest unemployment rate at 16.2 percent while Currituck County had the lowest at 5.8 percent. All 14 of the State's metro areas experienced rate increases. The June not seasonally adjusted statewide rate was 9.3 percent.

Developments in the case of an elderly woman mauled by two pit bulls.
Reporter: Tammy Vo
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - On Friday morning, Marisabel Perales, the owner of two pit bulls that attacked Miriam Seymour, 89, headed to court. A judge transferred the case to another judge who will conduct a hearing at the end of May. 9 On Your Side tried to ask Perales if she wanted to say anything to the victim of the attack, but she declined. She faces two misdemeanor charges for each dog including: dog off leash and dog that bites.
Meanwhile, a civil lawsuit has been filed against Perales, Christopher Juarez, said to be the boyfriend of Perales and Casa Carina Association. Casa Carina is the homeowners association where the incident took place. In early March, Seymour went to check her mail near River and Campbell when she was attacked by the two roaming pit bulls, "Ghandi" and Cowdog". The dogs were chained together according to Animal Control reports.
Seymour is still recovering but told KGUN 9 over the phone that she is still struggling to even walk and that her doctors stopped counting the bite marks on her body when they surpassed 100.
Dev Sethi is an attorney at the law firm Kinerk, Schmidt & Sethi. They are representing Seymour. The civil lawsuit is separate from the misdemeanor county charges. The lawsuit alleges, in part, that the owners should have known the dogs were dangerous, that they failed to take care of the dogs and that they are liable for damages regardless of whether they knew dogs were dangerous.
What will ultimately bring Seymour justice in this case?
"Mrs. Seymour hopes the dog owners and all the defendants in this case will take responsibility for what has happened to her. There is no such thing as one free bite. When it comes to your responsibility for damage your dog does, if it bites or attacks someone, whether you had any notice that the dog had vicious tendencies to act out or not, you're responsible for it".
9 On Your Side has been looking into whether felony charges are warranted in this case based on allegations the owners knew the dogs were vicious. One week before Seymour's attack, a mailman reported an aggressive encounter with one of the pit bulls involved in her attack. Animal Control tells KGUN 9 that they gave the dog's owner a warning. KGUN 9 has not yet received an answer from the County Attorney's office as to why they're not pursuing a felony charge.

"What is this—some kind of school project? You guys aren't homeless, are you?" asked the clean-cut young policeman with well-gelled hair. His confusion was understandable. Actually, the first thing he said was, "You're eating out of the garbage? That's disgusting."
Indeed, why would four middle-class guys be pawing through garbage bags looking for food? Officer Hair Gel vainly tried to fit us into a category that made sense to him. "Is this for some kind of frat thing?"
His squad car was soon joined by another, and then another. Soon five cruisers surrounded us, making blue and red disco effects on the strip mall alley walls. Must have been a slow night in Fairfax County. We suppressed giggles as we sat on the rear bumper of my station wagon and had our IDs checked.
We must've looked pretty shady prowling behind the bakery with our flashlights and bags of loot. But all we were looking for was the bounty of discarded bagels, breads, and pastries we'd come to expect there. We offered the officer a choice muffin. He declined with a smirk. "I can't stop you from doing this, but a bunch of guys sneaking around behind these stores looks pretty suspicious. Next time you might get shot."
Thanks for the advice, officer, but at these prices it's worth the risk.
Dumpster diving has always been a respectable way for penniless students and group houses to acquire furniture and appliances. But why run the risk of harassment, embarrassment—and yes, illness—to scavenge food?
Reason number one—you get a lot of really, really good food really, really free. I often come away with a decent segment of the food pyramid: vegetables, meat, milk, eggs, and almost always lots of bread. And we're not talking Wonder Bread—we're talking sprouted wheat berry, pita, ciabatta, foccacia, and any number of Mediterranean-themed baked goods.
Though I'll occasionally supplement my dumpster bounty with a trip to the natural foods co-op for some local produce or organic oats for homemade granola (bring on the stereotypes), I've come to rely mostly on society's waste for my provision. As Jesus taught, "Do not worry, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?'...Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things" (Matthew 6:32). In this spirit, dumpstering's spontaneity is both liberating and satisfying. Instead of the anxiety of bargain-hunting among the throngs at corporate übermarkets, I enjoy the surprises of late-night expeditions and never worry about finding enough to eat.
BEYOND BASIC NECESSITIES, there's also the allure of the big score. On my very first dumpster run, I went into Homer Simpson-drool mode at finding several pounds of smoked salmon—a delicacy I could never justify buying in real life. I ate it three meals a day for a week. It's really great with eggs.
On a subsequent trip, I found six jars of caviar. I've also developed an addiction to grocery-store sushi (all pre-cooked or veggie). Just tonight I had a simple dinner of dumpster fare: soup and bread. But the soup was lobster bisque, and the bread was a lovely sourdough boule.
Ready to dive in? Dumpster diving works best in pairs. One person climbs into the dumpster or stands on the side, tossing aside bags of regular trash while searching for the mother lode—bags full of overstocks discarded en masse. These are handed to the partner, who begins separating the proverbial sheep from goats—or, if you're vegetarian, wheat from chaff. Fortunately, most stores are diligent about dumping food when it reaches its "sell by" date—three hours earlier, they'd have sold it to you. So the only guesswork is in deciding whether or not it has gone bad in the meantime. This is simpler in colder months, when the entire outdoors is a walk-in fridge.
Dumpstering isn't for the dainty—that bag of smoked salmon may be hiding under a pile of overripe avocados. But excessive packaging usually keeps the food itself grime-free. I've liberated many a shrink-wrapped eggplant from its little plastic prison.
The fact that dumpster divers benefit from the over-packaging we'd otherwise avoid illuminates a point of tension: I'm eating food that's more luxuriously produced and presented than I would buy as a conscientious consumer. One example is meat. Some of my friends skip this category altogether, whether it comes from a dumpster or a deli counter. My pre-dumpstering quasi-pseudo-vegetarian ethic was to eat whatever was set before me (1 Corinthians 10:27) but to almost never buy meat at the grocery store, mostly out of health and environmental concerns. But I'm now leaning toward a "freegan" (rhymes with "vegan") lifestyle, which allows me to eat poultry and seafood more often as long as I don't pay for them.
The point is to eat sensibly while withdrawing financial support from an unsustainable agribusiness industrial complex that ravages the environment with factory-farm waste and the fossil-fuel consumption needed to ship those shrink-wrapped eggplants all the way from Chile. But just because you're scavenging surplus doesn't mean you can't be discerning. Because I target higher-end grocery stores, many of the items are organic and hormone-free as well.
It's like thrift shopping, through which I can afford higher-quality clothing without lining corporate pockets at the expense of sweatshop workers. The point isn't to self-righteously enjoy the fruits of exploitation without personally paying for them. (Though I have had cake I found dumpster diving, and eaten it, too.) It's just one way of minimizing my complicity in unsustainable corporate economies by not giving them my money. If I don't have the land or time to grow my own food, recycling gourmet garbage is one subversive option for living a frugal yet abundant life. As long as our consumer society refuses to eat all it takes, I'll be there to help clean its plate.
MY DUMPSTERING mentor, Preston Winter, began my initiation with this mantra: "No shame. No greed." Once I could taste and see that the food was good, shame wasn't a problem. But I still struggle with greed. Like the Israelites, I'm always tempted to gather more manna than I really need.
I try to balance this hoarding tendency with hospitality. But when laying out a spread of dumpster treats, I never know what to say about where the food came from. I now follow a "don't ask, don't tell" policy—mostly because my initial "full disclosure" policy made me weary of always having to answer the same questions (though it also meant that I didn't have to share my smoked salmon with the squeamish).
But despite easy hospitality toward friends, I fall woefully short of Jesus' admonition: "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors.... [I]nvite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind" (Luke 14:12-13).
Though I've never encountered direct competition with poor or homeless foragers, I've pondered whether I should take the more radical step of redistributing my gleanings to folks who need free food more than I do. But my home has never functioned as a food bank, and dumpstering hasn't changed this. As a soup kitchen volunteer, I was frustrated by the paternalistic power dynamics present. I now choose to do ministry in other areas and to let the pros negotiate the ethics, legalities, and logistics of distributing surplus food to the poor with safety and dignity.
A local ministry picks up food at one of our regular destinations. Store employees set donated items aside in carts, which we happily bypass on our way to the dumpster. And my church has done volunteer work with the Washington Area Gleaning Network, which does more traditional gleaning at farms and orchards. There's also America's Second Harvest, which annually distributes 843 million pounds of food from donors such as restaurants and grocery stores.
Another question is whether dumpster diving is legal. Laws vary by state and county, as does enforcement. Generally, it's not trespassing unless there are posted signs, and even unfriendly cops like Officer Hair Gel have never suggested that we were breaking any law. Once a manager politely asked us to leave, mumbling something about "liability." We figured it had more to do with employees being freaked out by the weirdoes climbing around on their dumpster. That store now protects its precious garbage with padlocks and chains.
Fortunately, we have a reliable location where relations are much friendlier. There, the employees respond to our friendly hellos and warn us about hazards such as broken glass and rotten bananas. Even the cops are nicer there: A bike-riding squad of gender- and racially-diverse officers got a good chuckle out of our operation, but they didn't ask us for IDs or threaten to shoot us. It's a regular Big Rock Candy Mountain. Of course, it helps that we know the night manager. He's told his employees not to mind us and even pointed us to bags of food that have yet to be dumped—asking only that we toss them in the bin once we're done.
At these prices, we're happy to pitch in.
Ryan Beiler is Web editor for Sojourners. He's been dumpster diving regularly since June 2005.

I enlisted a little over a month ago at MEPS , I had 2 misdemeanor at the age of 7 (long story short wrong place , at the wrong time) Trespassing and Vandalism. I put trespassing on my Contract but not vandalism i had no idea that it was charged against me i knew i had trespassing. My recruiter and the guys at the MEPS building ran several different background checks on me and nothing came up so they noted that i said i did get into some trouble and i put down trespassing. So this guy that does the FBI background checks runs my fingerprints and comes back with Trespassing and Vandalism and he says you why didn't you list these and i told him the story and its been about 3 and half weeks since i got that phone call , my recruiter isn't answering my phone calls / text messages. Im 17 about to be 18 in a couple of months and haven't been any kinda trouble since those charges which were about to be 10 years ago. Long story short im 17 and i have no clues what going on right now, im a great kid i don't do any kinda of drugs/alcohol i stay home and play sports !

Re: Question about my Enlistment
Have you already joined? If the FBI check came back then I am guessing yes. If that is the case, then they may be proccessing you for a fraudulent enlistment discharge and their isnt much the recruiter can do.
Re: Question about my Enlistment
First, WHO charges a 1st grader with tresspassing and vandalisim?! You know, FIRST grade? It's the one right after kindergarten. I have a daughter exactly that age right now. I hate to sound skeptical, but honestly I wouldn't have even thought that was possible.
My "gut" instinct is that this isn't a big deal at all. I have sincere respect for many of my superiors, some of whom are the approval authority for these waivers and I'd be throughly dissapointed if this was actioned further, or more importantly...negatively. UNLESS, this isn't the entire story of course.

Pointing to recent attacks on American consulates and embassies — including the murder of U.S. Libyan Ambassador Christopher Stevens — Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on September 13 offered an amendment to the foreign aid bill that would deny funds to Pakistan, Egypt, and Libya.
Paul's amendment is a revised version of a measure he put forward in July that would have held up aid to Pakistan pending the release of Dr. Shakil Afridi.
Dr. Afridi is believed to have played a vital role in the manhunt that led to the locating and killing of Osama bin Laden. He is being held in a Pakistani prison on a 33-year sentence. Afridi ran a vaccination program that was allegedly just a front for a CIA operation to obtain a DNA sample that would verify bin Laden's presence in Pakistan. A senior CIA official told the New York Times that the effort ultimately was unsuccessful.
Following a debate on the Senate floor with Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Senator Paul changed his tack and called for the money that would have been sent to the three countries to be diverted to the veterans jobs bill instead.
The total amount of foreign aid to Pakistan, Libya, and Egypt is roughly $4 billion annually. Sen. Paul's revised amendment would strip that money from those three countries and send $2 billion of the money saved and add it to the veterans job bill. According to a statement released by Sen. Paul's office, the remaining $2 billion would "go to deficit reduction."
In a statement, Paul said,
