Roger Lécureux was one of the main writers of realistic comics for Vaillant magazine. Just like Jean Ollivier, he wrote numerous series in several genres, varying from science-fiction ('Les Pionniers de l'Espérance') to history ('Rahan'). He started working for the magazine in 1945, when he became in charge of the subscriptions. Soon, he wrote his first comic, 'Fifi Gars du Maquis' for Auguste Liquois. In December 1945 this first effort was followed by one of the most notable series that appeared in Vaillant, 'Les Pionniers de l'Espérance', drawn by Raymond Poïvet. The series ran until 1973.
He multiplied his activities in the late 1940s with series like 'Nasdine Hodja' (art René Bastard, R. Violet and Pierre Leguen), 'Lynx Blanc' (art Claude-Henri and Paul Gillon) and 'Sam Billie Bill' (art Lucien Nortier). All these series became highlights of the magazine and ran for several years. He continued this line of work in the 1950s and 1960s with new series like 'Fils de Chine' (art Paul Gillon), 'Louk' (art Pascal and Max Lenvers), 'Wango' (art E.T. Coelho and Gillon), 'Teddy Ted' (art Yves Roy and Gérald Forton). Roger Lécureux was chief editor of the Vaillant magazine from 1958 to 1963.

When Vaillant changed to Pif, Lécureux started new series, such as 'Rahan' (art Chéret), 'Capitaine Apache' (art Norma) and several short stories. While being highly productive for Vaillant/Pif, Lécureux also worked for the big press. He wrote several comics for L'Humanité, working mostly with artists from the Vaillant team, like Claude-Henri, René Deynis and Jean Cézard, but also with Pellos. In 1994 he started 'Le Petit Rahan', a spin-off of his successful series about the caveman Rahan, one of the most popular series from the Pif Gadget era.

Say what you want about the singer, but Taylor Swift makes one hot hipster!
The blonde beauty just dropped her latest music video for "22" and it looks like one super rad (kidding) Hollywood hipster party.
Sporting nerd glasses, black fedoras, v-necks, beanies and a pretty awesome shirt that reads "Not A Lot Going on at the Moment," T-Swift looks effortlessly cool . Now it all makes sense why she was dressed like Harry Styles on set!
The Instagram-esque filter is a pretty nice touch too and really makes the music video seem extra "artsy."
Don't worry Taylor fans -- the country crooner's not actually trying to be a hipster (Swift's more poking fun at the subculture), just take a closer listen to the lyrics.
What do you think of her new music video for "22"? Sound off below!

Artifice test pollution: The Lees ran into an issue where every fifth selenium test was failing. They tracked it down to using Artifice to stub responses in their tests. Since Webdriver communicates with the browser through http requests the stubbed Artifice responses were being received by Webdriver, causing unexpected behavior. Be careful stubbing with Artifice or you may accidentally stub all localhost requests.

Should I use a humidifier?
Humidifiers have many benefits to the health and wellness of your family. There are 5 main benefits to having a humidifier.
- Maintain your health: Did you know that one of the perfect breeding grounds for viruses that cause cold and flu symptoms is dry air? Humidifiers make it easy to maintain an ideal humidity level in the home, making it one of the most overlooked preventative measures against getting sick during the winter.
- Valuable for your home: Low indoor humidity causes wood flooring to dry out, separate and crack, wood furniture to crack and split, and wallpaper to peel. Chances are you put valuable dollars towards these household items and would like to see them last as long as possible without getting damaged.
- Saves you money: A little known fact about dry air: it feels cooler than humidified air. The colder you feel during the winter, the more likely you are to run your furnace. Conversely, the warmer you feel, the less likely you are to run the furnace. This saves you money.
- Helps you sleep better: One of the most well-known benefits of humidifiers is snoring relief. Due to the humidity moisturizing the respiratory system, the loudness and intensity of snoring is greatly reduced. Even more so, moist air keeps mucus membranes from becoming dry which is a primary reason for sore throat and stuffy nose. It also helps babies sleep better as well. Humidified air can reduce dust and the drying of the air passages. A baby will sleep better in a humidified environment.
- Benefits your skin: Dry air is often one of the main culprits for dry skin. Proper indoor humidity can prevent and relieve scratchy and dry skin.
Having a humidifier in your home is beneficial for you and everyone living in the house. When it comes to purchasing a humidifier, always look to see what benefits it will provide for you and/or your family. Over the years, humidifiers from Crane have left our customers the most satisfied.
The Drop Shape Crane Humidifier (available in a variety of colors) provides relief for symptoms associated with the flu, colds, and coughs. The indoor moisture it will provide for your home makes it easier to breathe, provides relief of nasal congestion, sinus irritation and other issues. The Crane Drop Shape is made for room sizes up to 250 square feet and has an adjustable mist output so it can be set at the settings most comfortable for you.
For children, we suggest the Starry Night Humidifier by Vicks. It produces cool moisture for medium-sized rooms so your child can experience easier breathing and a better nights rest. It features two output settings for a customized operation, is useful for cold and cough relief, and helps with respiratory and congestion issues. The Starry Night Projector (independently controlled) transforms an ordinary room into a starry night sky that is sure to bring delightment to your child.
We also offer humidifiers from Honeywell, Holmes, Vicks and more. Check out our list of portable home humidifiers for a list of all the humidifiers that will be right for your home.

|Rash of $100 Bogus Bills Turn Up in Area
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 30 August 2013 06:14
More counterfeit cash is turning up in Wilkes County—now $100 bills, as well as the $20'seen over the past year. BB&T in Wilkesboro reported last Friday that three bills were in deposits, including two $100 bills with the same serial numbers. A $20 was also turned over to police.
The bogus cash had been in deposits from Sweet Frog and Dollar General in Wilkesboro, according to the bank. Then Sally's Beauty Supply reported that their bank, First Citizens, reported their deposit had a bogus $100 bill, one the bank had already turned over to the Secret Service. Police were told by bank officials that a photo of a person passing a $100 bill was obtained from Rock Creek BP—a bill with the same serial number. So far, there are no arrests in the investigation.

By Deborah Fox / Staff Reporter
Spring weather graced the quiet rural Los Lunas community the morning Lovelace Rehabilitation Hospital made a special donation to El Ranchito de los Niños, a nonprofit alternative to foster care that keeps siblings together.
The hospital gave El Ranchito two shuttle vans, one with only 84,000 miles and both in great running order. The hospital could no longer use them because they lack the current safety standards for new wheelchair lifts.
El Ranchito de los Niños is working with Give Hope A Ride, a program of Casa Esperanza Endowment Foundation, to raise money for nonprofit organizations through car auctions.
When the hospital needed to upgrade the vans, Sharon Kelly, director of patient access, wanted them to go to good use somewhere else. Michael Dines, the Lovelace plant operations supervisor, suggested El Ranchito de los Niños, where his sister, Jessica Franco, works as the CPA.
"Lovelace is always looking for ways to partner with community organizations that help improve the health and well-being of the populations we serve," said Derrick Jones, CEO of Lovelace Rehabilitation Hospital. "This has been a great opportunity for us to do that."
El Ranchito de los Niños was founded in 2000, intentionally in an agricultural setting so there could be animals to help children transition, as well as learn skills they might not have received at home.
Some of the children have been abused, and some children have been starved, said Joe Barbour, executive director of El Ranchito de los Niños.
"When the children first come, if the animals don't have food or they don't have water, it's not part of their brain system, because they haven't had food or water," Barbour said. "So the animals help them deal with those issues. We go out every day, and it's a reminder every day that there is a living being that depends on them, and we perceive it as a corrective experience for the children."
The ranch receives no state or federal funding, and solely depends upon donations and private contributions.
"So every bite of food, every shirt on one of the children's back is a gift from somewhere, and every gift helps us to do the work with the children," said Barbour. "We are so appreciative to Lovelace that they would think of us this way."
The ranch is home to a big tabby cat, a huge Labrador retriever, goats, chickens, rabbits, a donkey and a horse. About 20 acres surround the home to protect the ranch from encroaching development.
"We rotate getting the eggs, and when the little ones go get the eggs, a lot of the eggs won't make it back to the kitchen," Barbour laughs.
The ranch home was specifically designed to allow brothers and sisters to grow up together, and shoulder whatever trials and tribulations the family is going through together.
There is a large dining room and community kitchen, and a large living room where the children can play, read or watch television together.
American Furniture donated a lot of the furnishings, and PNM donated the kitchen appliance, said Mary Spring, development manager. Albertsons in Los Lunas donates the food.
"When the kids come here, we assume they'll be here for about a year," Barbour said. "But the parents may be having issues that are going to take longer than a year."
The average stay is about seven years, and currently there are nine children living at El Ranchito, ranging in age from 18 months to 16 years old.
"It's always our hope that the children are able to return to their families," Barbour said. "We don't even pretend to be a better living situation than being with your mom and dad."
The organization doesn't have an adversarial relationship with the parents, because staff and parents are genuinely working toward the same goal.
Parents or grandparents can come and take the children if they wanted to. Parents bring the children to El Ranchito voluntarily, the children are not court ordered.
As soon as the parents are set up and ready to have their children, the El Ranchito staff are happy to see them reunited.
"It's interesting, raising a child for seven years, watch them go out that front door and never look back," Barbour said. "As much as we love them, as much as they love us, they're with mom. It's the way it's supposed to be."
Lovelace is committed to the Los Lunas community, and hopes to be of serve in other ways, Jones said.
"We look for this to be a foreshadowing of things to come for this community and the Lovelace partnership," Jones said. "We'll certainly be looking for other ways to serve this community."
For information or to donate to El Ranchito de los Ranchito, call Mary Spring, the development manager at 565-4470.

HEUVELTON Brian K. Bennett doesnt hesitate when it comes to sharing his passion for organic farming with the north country.
That is why he has been named the Northeast Organic Farmer Association of New Yorks 2014 organic farmer of the year. Mr. Bennett will be presented with the award at NOFAs Winter Conference, which takes place Jan. 24 to 26 in Saratoga Springs.
As operator, Mr. Bennett produces a variety of vegetables and livestock on Bittersweet Farm, 1249 State Highway 184.
In addition to being a full-time farmer, Mr. Bennett has served as the workshop coordinator for the Local Living Festival and as the vegetable specialist for North Country Grown Cooperative.
He and his wife, Anne, helped to establish the Ogdensburg GreenMarket farmers market and both have served on the Canton Farmers Market board of directors.
Mr. Bennett mentors new farmers and teaches hands-on sustainability to area students and volunteers from local colleges and universities, St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services and the Youth Advocacy Program.
From September to December, we had 19 students from St. Lawrence University working on the farm, he said. They come from all over the world Ethiopia, Brazil and Pakistan.
Students often experience culture shock when they visit the farm for the first time, he admitted. The grasses grow wild on the front lawn and cows and chickens are free to graze at their leisure. But Mr. Bennett says there is a method to the madness of organic farming.
Many people often tell me that if I just cleaned up or made it look a certain way, that more people might come to the farm, he said. But if you mowed, the hummingbirds, the milkweed and the rare pollinators would go away.
Mr. Bennett, 55, learned the benefits of organic farming before there was a term for it, and has practiced it long after critics told him it was a passing fad.
He said the greatest challenge in organic farming is overcoming the stigma that it is too much work or too costly.
The challenge is not insurmountable when it comes to the actual production methods, Mr. Bennett said. I remember being called an organic wacko when I first began. But this is something people have been doing for centuries back when it used to be called just farming. People are embracing it, and it is becoming more popular.
In 1985, he purchased his first farm with his wife where they farmed part time using organic methods. In 1999, they moved to the St. Lawrence River Valley. Bittersweet Farm is certified organic with NOFA-NY Certified Organic LLC.
Diversity, he says, is key when it comes to organic, small-time farming.
I would rather have 1,000 families each raising 10 cows on my road instead of having one 10,000-cow farm, Mr. Bennett said. If the cows get hoof-and-mouth disease, the whole thing shuts down and wipes them out. But with a collection of small farms, another farm can survive because the cows may have slightly different genetics.
But organic farming is not without its challenges.
Its not all roses without the thorns, he said. You trip, you fall, and things get broken. You make mistakes and you learn from them. But when you fail on a small farm, its okay. Other farmers are known to pick each other up when that happens. You cant get help from the big guys.
Organic farming is about being connected to what Mr. Bennett refers to as the life force of the farm.
This is not about going back to Amish lifestyle, he said. Its about sharing and connecting. Nothing compares to when you try a fresh heirloom tomato for the first time.

Kidney and Urologic Diseases
Urinary diversion is a surgical procedure that reroutes the normal flow of urine out of the body when urine flow is blocked. Urine flow may be blocked because of
Bladder removal or a malfunctioning bladder may also cause blocked urine flow. When urine cannot flow out of the body, it can accumulate in the bladder, ureters, and kidneys. As a result, body wastes and extra water do not empty from the body, potentially resulting in pain, urinary tract infections, kidney failure, or, if left untreated, death. Urinary diversion can be temporary or permanent, depending on the reason for the procedure.
The urinary tract is the body's drainage system for removing urine, which is composed of wastes and extra fluid. In order for normal urination to occur, all body parts in the urinary tract need to work together in the correct order.
Kidneys. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are located just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. Every day, the kidneys filter about 120 to 150 quarts of blood to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine. The kidneys work around the clock; a person does not control what they do.
Ureters. Ureters are the thin tubes of muscle—one on each side of the bladder—that carry urine from each of the kidneys to the bladder.
Bladder. The bladder, located in the pelvis between the pelvic bones, is a hollow, muscular, balloon-shaped organ that expands as it fills with urine. Although a person does not control kidney function, a person does control when the bladder empties. Bladder emptying is known as urination. The bladder stores urine until the person finds an appropriate time and place to urinate. A normal bladder acts like a reservoir and can hold 1.5 to 2 cups of urine. How often a person needs to urinate depends on how quickly the kidneys produce the urine that fills the bladder. The muscles of the bladder wall remain relaxed while the bladder fills with urine. As the bladder fills to capacity, signals sent to the brain tell a person to find a toilet soon.
Three sets of muscles work together like a dam, keeping urine in the bladder:
During urination, the bladder empties through the urethra, located at the bottom of the bladder. The urethra is the tube that carries urine outside of the body. The urethra is made up of muscles that stay closed while the bladder fills with urine. The area where the urethra joins the bladder is the bladder neck. The bladder neck is composed of muscles known as the internal sphincter. The urethra is surrounded by muscles called the pelvic floor muscles, also referred to as the external sphincter.
To urinate, the brain signals the muscular bladder wall to tighten, squeezing urine out of the bladder. At the same time, the brain signals the sphincters to relax. As the sphincters relax, urine exits the bladder through the urethra.
Temporary urinary diversion reroutes the flow of urine for several days or weeks. Temporary urinary diversions drain urine until the cause of blockage is treated or after urinary tract surgery. This type of urinary diversion includes a nephrostomy and urinary catheterization.
A nephrostomy involves a small tube inserted through the skin directly into a kidney. The nephrostomy tube drains urine from the kidney into an external drainage pouch. Nephrostomy tubes are often used for less than a week after a percutaneous nephrolithotomy––a surgical procedure to break up and remove a kidney stone.
This treatment is often used when a kidney stone is quite large or in a location that does not permit effective use of other treatments. For this procedure, a surgeon makes a tiny incision in the back and creates a tunnel into one of the kidneys. As the kidney heals after surgery, the nephrostomy provides an alternative route for urine drainage until normal urinary flow resumes. A person may also need a nephrostomy if narrowing, blockage, or inflammation of the ureters keeps urine from draining properly. Under these circumstances, the nephrostomy may stay in place for several weeks until the problem is resolved.
Urinary catheterization involves placing a thin, flexible tube––called a catheter––into the bladder to drain urine. Two methods of urinary catheterization include insertion of a catheter through the urethra or through an incision in the skin. For the first method, a special type of catheter, called a Foley catheter, is inserted through the urethra. A Foley catheter has a water-filled balloon on the end that a health care provider inserts into the bladder to keep the catheter in place. For the second method, called a suprapubic catheterization, a catheter is inserted through an incision in the skin beneath the belly button directly into the bladder. Urinary catheters may remain in place for several days or weeks while tissues heal after urinary tract surgery or treatment of urinary blockage.
Permanent urinary diversion requires surgery to reroute urine flow to an external pouch through an opening in the wall of the abdomen, called a stoma, or to a surgically created internal reservoir. Stomas range from three-fourths of an inch to 3 inches wide. Surgeons perform permanent urinary diversion when a patient has a damaged bladder or no longer has a bladder. Advanced bladder cancer ranks as the most common reason for bladder removals. Bladder damage may result from nerve damage, birth defects, or chronic––or long lasting––inflammation. Nerve damage severe enough to require permanent urinary diversion generally occurs from multiple sclerosis, among other diseases; spinal cord injuries; and damage caused by pelvic trauma or radiation injury. The most common birth defect requiring bladder surgery is spina bifida. Chronic bladder inflammation can result from severe cases of interstitial cystitis or chronic urinary retention. Interstitial cystitis is a condition that causes the bladder to become swollen and irritated, leading to decreased bladder capacity. Urinary retention is the inability to empty the bladder completely.

The two permanent types of urinary diversion include urostomy and continent urinary diversion. A urostomy, also called a noncontinent urinary diversion, requires an external pouch––a disposable plastic bag that sticks to the skin of the abdomen. A continent urinary diversion involves the creation of an internal reservoir with a segment of bowel—also called the small and large intestines—that stores urine until it can be drained.
A urostomy is a stoma that connects to the urinary tract and makes it possible for urine to drain out of the body when regular urination cannot occur. The stoma has no muscle, so it cannot control urine flow, causing a continuous flow. An external pouch collects urine flowing through the stoma. Ileal conduit and cutaneous ureterostomy are the two main types of urostomy.
Ileal Conduit
An ileal conduit uses a section of the bowel—usually the small intestine—surgically removed from the digestive tract and repositioned to serve as a passage, or conduit, for urine from the ureters to a stoma. One end of the conduit attaches to the ureters; the other end attaches to the stoma. The surgeon reconnects the bowel where the section was removed so that it functions normally. The urine flows through the newly formed ileal conduit and the stoma into an external pouch.
Cutaneous Ureterostomy
In cutaneous ureterostomy, the surgeon detaches one or both ureters and attaches them directly to a stoma. This type of urostomy is not as common as an ileal conduit because of a higher complication rate and the need for follow-up surgery. A surgeon performs cutaneous ureterostomy when the bowel cannot be used to create a stoma because of certain diseases and conditions or exposure to high doses of radiation.
Cutaneous ureterostomy
Continent urinary diversion is an internal reservoir that a surgeon creates from a section of the bowel. Urine flows through the ureters into the reservoir and is drained by the patient. Continent urinary diversion does not require an external pouch. Continent urinary diversion consists of two main types, continent cutaneous reservoir and bladder substitute.
Continent Cutaneous Reservoir
A continent cutaneous reservoir connects to a stoma. A surgically created valve keeps urine from flowing out of the stoma. The patient inserts a catheter through the continent stoma to drain urine from the reservoir several times throughout the day. The stoma is very small––less than 1 inch wide––and sometimes can be hidden in the belly button.
Bladder Substitute
For a bladder substitute, also called a neobladder, a surgeon creates an internal reservoir that connects to the ureters at one end and to the urethra at the other. Since this type of reservoir connects to the urethra, urine empties from the reservoir in a more natural process, just as a person with a normal urinary tract would do when going to the bathroom with a natural bladder. However, the bladder substitute does not function as well as a natural bladder. In some cases, a catheter must be inserted through the urethra to completely empty the reservoir. A patient with this type of permanent diversion may have a higher chance of urinary incontinence––the accidental loss of urine. Only certain people qualify for this type of diversion, and surgeons carefully select eligible patients.
After urinary diversion surgery, a wound, ostomy, and continence (WOC) nurse or an enterostomal therapist helps patients learn how to take care of their permanent urinary diversions. WOC nurses and enterostomal therapists specialize in ostomy care and rehabilitation. Patients should ask how to care for their stomas and pouches.
Caring for a Continent Stoma
A continent stoma requires daily care.Care focuses on maintaining a clean and healthy stoma by
Caring for a Noncontinent Stoma
A noncontinent stoma also requires basic daily care. Care focuses on maintaining a suitable and healthy skin area for attachment of the pouch by
Patients should inspect their stoma and skin and notify their health care providers of any changes, specifically evidence of skin breakdown, typically in an area where urine leaks between the pouch and stoma.
Caring for a Pouch
A person with an ileal conduit or with cutaneous ureterostomy also works with WOC nurses or enterostomal therapists to learn how to care for an external pouch. The pouch system usually consists of two pieces—a barrier that sticks to the skin, known as a wafer, and a disposable plastic bag or pouch that attaches to the barrier. Sometimes the barrier and pouch are one unit. The barrier protects the skin from urine and is designed to be as gentle as possible on the skin. The length of time the barrier stays sealed to the skin depends on many things, such as whether the barrier fits properly, the condition of the skin around the stoma, the patient's physical activity level, and the shape of the body around the stoma.
The pouch has a drain valve at the bottom so the patient can empty it into a toilet without removing the pouch from the stoma. During the day, most patients need to empty the pouch about as often as they used the bathroom before having urinary diversion surgery. Patients should empty the pouch when it is about one-third to one-half full. At night, patients can attach a piece of flexible tubing to the drain valve on the pouch to let urine flow into a bigger pouch during sleep.
Patients should rinse and clean the pouch daily and change it every 5 to 7 days. When changing a pouch, patients need to clean the skin around the stoma with a wet towelette or washcloth. The skin should be completely dry before applying a new pouch. If the constant flow of urine from the stoma irritates the skin, patients can use protective skin wipes or an ostomy powder designed to protect the skin around the stoma.
Wearing a urostomy pouch does not require special clothing. Modern pouches are designed to lie flat against the body so they aren't noticeable under most clothing. A patient can tuck the pouch inside elastic undergarments or between undergarments and outer clothing. A simple pouch cover adds comfort by absorbing sweat and keeping the plastic pouch from resting against the skin. Cotton knit or stretch undergarments may give extra support and security. Some people with urostomies wear a belt that attaches to the pouch system and wraps around the waist. The belt supports the pouch system and, for some people, provides a sense of security.
Caring for a Continent Cutaneous Reservoir
For a continent cutaneous reservoir, patients learn how to insert a catheter through the stoma or urethra to drain the internal reservoir. Patients can drain the reservoir by inserting the catheter while standing in front of the toilet or sitting on the toilet. During the first few weeks after urinary diversion surgery, patients need to drain the internal reservoir every couple of hours. Over time, the reservoir capacity will increase and patients will be able to go 4 to 6 hours between reservoir drainings. Patients should wash their hands with soap and water each time they use a catheter. Before and after catheterization, patients should clean the stoma and skin around it with a wet towelette or washcloth and completely dry the stoma and skin.
The reservoir is made from part of the bowel, so it may produce mucus that normally lines the digestive tract. To clear this mucus, patients may need to irrigate, or flush out, the reservoir using a syringe with sterile water or normal saline. Patients should talk with a WOC nurse, an enterostomal therapist, or a urologist––a doctor who specializes in the urinary tract––about how often they should irrigate the reservoir.
Bacteria often enter urostomies and continent urinary diversions and begin growing in number. At times, bacterial overgrowth causes a symptomatic urinary tract infection. Symptoms of infection may include
Patients with symptoms of infection should call their health care providers at once. Drinking eight full glasses of water every day can help prevent infection by flushing out bacteria and keeping bacterial counts low. Patients should talk with their health care providers about appropriate times to have their urine tested and when to have treatment with antibiotics. Urine testing and infection treatment play a critical role in successful long-term care with minimal complications.
To help the stoma heal, patients need to restrict their activities, including driving and heavy lifting, during the first 2 to 3 weeks after urinary diversion surgery. Once the stoma has healed, patients should be able to do most of the activities they enjoyed before urinary diversion surgery, even swimming and other water sports. The only exceptions may be contact sports such as football or karate. Patients whose jobs include strenuous physical activities should talk with their health care providers and employers about making adjustments to their job responsibilities.
Patients may worry that people will have negative reactions to their urinary diversion. Most people will never know patients are wearing a pouch or have a continent urinary diversion. Friends and relatives are likely to be aware of the patient's health problems. However, only a spouse, intimate partner, or primary caretaker needs to know the details of the urinary diversion. Patients can choose how much they share about their condition.
Urinary diversion surgery may reduce sexual function, especially when the bladder has been removed because of cancer. Patients who have good sexual function may resume sexual activities after urinary diversion surgery as soon as their health care providers say it is safe. Patients should talk with their health care providers about any concerns they have about maintaining a satisfying sexual relationship. Health care providers can give information about ways to protect the stoma during sexual activity. Patients may want to ask about specially designed apparel to enhance intimacy for people with urostomies. Communicating with a sexual partner is essential. Patients should share their concerns and wishes and listen carefully to their partner's concerns.
After urinary diversion surgery, patients will likely be able to resume their normal diet. Some foods, such as asparagus and seafood, may cause urine to have a stronger odor, which may be noticeable when emptying a pouch. If odor is a concern, patients should talk with their health care providers about changes in diet. Patients should also talk with their health care providers about their dietary needs. Some patients with continent urinary reservoirs have a chance of vitamin B deficiency and may require lifelong vitamin B injections. This requirement is only for a specific type of diversion and should be discussed with the health care provider in detail.
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) conducts and supports basic and clinical research into many kinds of kidney and urologic diseases. The knowledge gained from these studies advances scientific understanding of why kidney and urologic diseases develop and leads to improved methods of diagnosing, treating, and preventing them.
Researchers supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are exploring ways to improve urinary diversions for patients who have had their bladders removed. One study compares two types of continent ileal neobladder construction. A Comparison of the Studer Pouch versus the T-Pouch Orthotopic Neobladder Urinary Diversion in Bladder Cancer Patients study is funded under NIH clinical trial number NCT01008865. Another study investigates whether a combination of a patient's own cells and other materials can be used to form a conduit to let urine flow safely from the kidneys to outside the body. The Incontinent Urinary Diversion Using an Autologous Neo-Urinary Conduit study is funded under NIH clinical trial number NCT01087697.
The National Cancer Institute also supports projects on the complications, emotional wellbeing, and quality of life of bladder cancer survivors with urinary diversion.
Clinical trials are research studies involving people. Clinical trials look at safe and effective new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease. Researchers also use clinical trials to look at other aspects of care, such as improving the quality of life for people with chronic illnesses.

What's that like 0-8 with RISP now? What a joke.
At least the pitching is doing good. Just have to hope the O's can somehow score another run.
Matt P wrote:Hindsight is 20/20 but two bad decisions lead to that run.
1 - Pitching to Ibanez. Should have walked him and pitched to Stewart with the bases loaded. Singleton was in favor of it as they were walking Granderson.
2 - Throwing that slider to Ibanez. Bad call by Wieters to not stick with the fastball.
Regardless of the outcome the bullpen was great tonight. This game is on the offense, especially Reynolds.

How to Brew Beer: Getting Started
Efficient light bulbs, non-toxic furniture and Energy-Star certified appliances can certainly reduce your family's environmental impact. But as population rises, we have to start paying more attention to the fact that the more dwelling space we provide for each person, the more resources we are going to use.
In 2009, the average American home was 2,343 square feet, well more than double the average in 1950. While new home sizes have dipped slightly during the recession, it's also true that more and more architects and builders are recognizing that small really can be beautiful. We see this in efficient, affordable modular design, and some folks are even going so far as to move into repurposed shipping containers. Some small green homes are envisioned as rustic cabin getaways, while others are on the cutting edge of style and amenities.
The new book Small Eco Houses (Universe, $35) by Cristina Paredes Benitez and Alex Sanchez Vidiella is a wonderful survey of beautiful small homes that are packed with sustainable features, from use of recycled and local materials to natural lighting and landscaping. Many are inspiring examples of what's possible if we think outside the old mantra that bigger is always better.
70 square feet
FLOAT Architectural Research and Design
Wren, Oregon
Built for a writer who wanted to channel his own inner Thoreau, the tiny Watershed House has got to offer some of the most stylish living available in 70 square feet. Reducing a cramped feeling, the cabin has lots of openings to let the light and the scenery in.
According to the book Small Eco Houses, Watershed is built in a prefabricated process that reduces waste and disturbance to the site. The polycarbonate roof provides shading and diffuses the light, and the windows are double paned for insulation.
The cabin even features a small, rain-fed reflecting pool to enhance the aura of contemplation and connection to nature. Think about that the next time you hear someone complain about their small apartment!

MGH Hotline 03.26.10 Dedicated to the career advancement of hospital faculty members, the MGH Center for Faculty Development (CFD) has been a vital resource for MGH faculty in support of their careers.
MGH Center for Faculty Development restructures
ADVANCING CAREERS: From left, back row, Rigotti and Stern. Front row, Hasan, Klibanski and Lawton
Dedicated to the career advancement of hospital faculty members, the MGH Center for Faculty Development (CFD) has been a vital resource for MGH faculty in support of their careers. Since its establishment in 2005, the CFD has offered a variety of seminars, programs and events -- approximately 60 each academic year -- aimed at enhancing the professional careers of clinical and research faculty. Over the past year, the CFD engaged in an extensive and thoughtful restructuring process and approved several new appointments to further enhance its comprehensive program.
Anne Klibanski, MD, chief of the Neuroendocrine Unit and director of the Neuroendocrine and Pituitary Tumor Clinical Center, has been appointed director of the CFD. Klibanski has long been dedicated to faculty development, as well as the mentoring of junior faculty. She begins her new role April 1, while continuing her current roles at the MGH and Harvard Medical School. Donna Lawton, MS, has been promoted to executive director of the center. As a committed CFD administrator, Lawton was a vital contributor to the CFD restructuring process.
Another significant change is the establishment of a new CFD component, the Office for Clinical Careers (OCC), created to facilitate the career advancement of MGH clinical faculty. Directed by Theodore Stern, MD, chief of the MGH Psychiatric Consultation Service, the OCC aims to enhance overall job satisfaction and increase the number of clinical faculty promoted by academic criteria as well as the retention of clinical faculty.
The Office for Women's Careers (OWC), another office of the CFD, also undergoes a change with the appointment of Nancy Rigotti, MD, director of the MGH Tobacco Research and Treatment Center, as the director. Rigotti has a deep interest in women's health and careers and in mentoring in general.
"The appointments of Drs. Rigotti and Stern as OWC and OCC directors will enable the center to support the career development of many talented clinical and women faculty members," says Klibanski. "Dr. Tayyaba Hasan will continue as director of the Office of Research Careers, thereby allowing the CFD to provide comprehensive support for the diverse career faculty pathways at MGH."

I don't know if that is intentional and they are taking a page from Verlander's book or if it just takes him a few innings to really find his fastball where he can trust letting it go.

The Hospice Foundation of Jefferson County Inc.s Washington Street property will go back on the market after the potential buyer stepped aside to give the nonprofit organization more time to seek a better offer.
Diana K. Woodhouse, Hospice of Jefferson Countys chief executive officer, said Thursday that the foundations board has accepted the generous offer of Watertown accountant Jerry R. Gardner to amend his contract to buy 425 Washington St. and allow the organization six more months to market the property, possibly realizing more money from the sale.
Mr. Gardners company, N&G Rentals LLC, has a contract to buy the two-story, 5,500-square-foot brick building for $150,000. However, developer P.J. Simao, who has helped the foundation raise hundreds of thousands of dollars, objected to the transaction, contending among other issues that the proposed sale price was less than half what a state-certified real estate appraiser said the property is worth.
The sale to Mr. Gardner was set to close Dec. 19, but the board postponed it to allow an attorney to review the transaction. Mrs. Woodhouse said while the review was being conducted, Mr. Gardner proposed the foundation be given until June 30 to market the property. If at any point before that a more lucrative offer comes in, Mr. Gardner has the chance to match it. If a better offer is not received, Mr. Gardner will be allowed to buy the property for his original offer.
Basically, this allows us to answer the questions that have been posed by the community, Mrs. Woodhouse said. This will certainly answer them one way or another.
A 2011 appraisal set the propertys value at $365,000 while the city has assessed the tax-exempt property at $335,400 and estimates its full market value at $376,000. The foundation purchased the property in the early 1990s for $290,000. However, the property sat unsold for more than a year, and a second certified appraiser, who did not conduct a full appraisal of it, offered the opinion that the property was worth $150,000 because it needs $150,000 in upgrades and renovations to become suitable as a professional office.
The property was marketed in the first go-round by Christensen Realty USA, Clayton. At the time, broker Gail D. Christensen was a Hospice board member and the company agreed to list and sell the property at no cost to Hospice. Mr. Simao questioned whether it was in Hospices best interest to have a broker with no financial stake in a sale handle the marketing. He argued that even though Christensen Realty showed the property to dozens of prospective buyers, a broker with a commission on the line likely would work harder to complete a sale at a higher price.
Mrs. Woodhouse said this time, the board will hire a commercial marketing firm to list the property and is in the process of selecting the firm. Hospice no longer needs the property following construction of an eight-bed residence, including office space, at 1398 Gotham St. Proceeds of the sale will defray the cost of building the facility.

Hi All-
Here is my problem. I have an All-In-One-Form that consists of a login area for username/password and an HTML form that processes the form info and sends it off in an email. Both the login form and HTML form are in their own variables ($login, $the_form) respectively, and are outputted at arbitrary points in the script.
So far, everything is correct except for when the user tries to submit the form.
So the login screen pops-up, and the username and password are entered. A mysql database table checks the validity of the items-if valid, the form displays. If not, show the login. No problem.
But each time the user hits submit on the main HTML form, the login form pops back up because it gets stuck on one of the previous conditions within the script. I need a way that I can show that once at the HTML form, they no longer need to enter their username/password. Can I do this with sessions even when this is just one script that reloads itself?

Used On Television Episodes & Professional Flight Schools - The Most Realistic Flight Sim To Date...
Dear Flight Enthusiast
My name is Dan Freeman and I've been a flight sim enthusiast for many years. I'm excited to present to you the game that flight fanatics have always wanted. - ProFlightSimulator.
ProFlightSimulator was developed as an alternative to professional flight simulators for pilot training. This is a fully functioning Flight Simulator that puts other flight sims to shame. Here's why:
It's the next best thing to being up there!
The virtual controls are based on Real Life cockpits and you will find night flying more enjoyable with ground lighting concentrated in urban areas, car headlights on major roadways and accurate airport approach lighting. With realistic flight dynamics and controls...
It Doesn't Get Any Closer To The Real Thing!
With ProFlightSimulator, you can learn to fly without ever leaving your home. This is a HIGH quality, professional grade airplane flight simulator with the option to add scenery and airports that encompass the entire globe! Over 20,000 airports can be added with additional scenery sets.
" This Flight Sim Was Designed To Be 100% REAL! "
Experience flying as realistic as it can get with ProFlightSimulator's Flight Simulator Full Scenery Set, one of the most incredible flight sims ever created.
The entire purpose of ProFlightSim is to be as close to real life as possible with real world scenery based on military mapping and full realistic pilot control with hundreds of aircraft & helicopters to fly from.
Chose an airplane and fly over the world- LITERALLY. You can fly your chosen plane over The Great Wall of China, Europe, Africa, even your own house!
100% Flight Freedom With Amazing Scenery
FlightSimulator flight simulation features highly detailed time of day modeling and can track the current computer clock time in order to correctly place the sun, moon, stars, etc. in their current and proper places relative to the earth.
If it's dawn in Sydney right now, it's dawn in the sim right now when you locate yourself in virtual Sydney.
The sun, moon, stars, and planets all follow their correct courses through the sky. The modeling also correctly takes into account seasonal effects so you have 24-hour days north of the Arctic Circle in the Summer...
You have 100% flight freedom to fly anywhere in the world. ProFlightSimulator maps the ENTIRE GLOBE with actual MILITARY world data with stunning realism. It is as realistic as it can get!
Control The Weather As You Wish...
In ProFlightSimulator, the weather is changeable. Experience the real effects of weather and wind! Add another dimension and watch your plane soar through gails, wind, rain, snow or even lightning . You have the control to choose this, or for added realism why not use real-life data.
This flight simulation can calculate your nearest airport and fetch the current METAR for that station from the NOAA weather service. The atmosphere parameters calculated are: temperature, dew point, pressure density, wind (three-dimensional) and visibility.
" The Realism Of The Simulation Is Second To None... "
Over 120+ Airplanes & Helicopters To Fly
There are over 120+ aircraft to fly, MUCH MORE than what Microsoft Flight Simulator can offer.
The list of available aircraft varies from the Wright Brothers' first plane to today's state-of-the-art military fighter jets and even medical helicopters. As for available terrains, you can fly anywhere on the entire planet!
With realism from the sloped runways to the real-life controls, this sim makes you realize what you've been missing all these years...
FUN TIP: It really makes for an interesting experience when you release the brakes and find yourself rolling backwards down the runway!
