Remember Travis and the real estate dilemma in the Quartiles Concept? Well, after Travis had worked to find all of the measures, he decided that he wanted to create a visual display of the data. What does this mean? Let's look at the problem from the last Concept and go from there.
On Thursday, a real estate agent came to visit the construction site. She spent a long time talking with Uncle Larry while Travis was helping Mr. Wilson arrange some tile for a bathroom floor. Travis was very curious about what they were discussing. The realtor handed Uncle Larry a sheet of paper to look at. After the realtor left, Travis decided to ask Uncle Larry about the meeting. "What was that all about?" Travis asked.
"Well, the man who owns this house has decided to sell it," Uncle Larry explained. "The realtor wants to know when it will be finished so that she can be sure that she has enough time in the selling season to sell it."
"What is a selling season?"
"Certain times of the year are better for buying and selling houses. Spring and summer are the best times in this area. This sheet says about how long it took houses in this area to sell last spring and summer. We want to be sure to be finished in time so that the realtor can sell this house."
Travis takes a look at the paper. Here is what he sees.
3 - 30 days
25 - 32 days
1 - 35 days
14 - 40 days
28 - 45 days
77 - 60 days
32 - 65 days
19 - 90 days
21 - 100 days
22 - 120 days
"Wow, that's a big range," Travis says.
"Yes, now we need to get back to work."
To create a visual display of the data, Travis will need to create a box - and - whisker plot. You will learn exactly how to do that in this Concept.
Previously we worked on analyzing all of the measures. Remember these are the quartiles, the median and the extremes. These are the key parts to a box-and-whisker plot. Now that you have identified all of the key parts of a box-and-whisker plot, we can move on to drawing one. Here are the key things that we need to do BEFORE drawing a box-and-whisker plot.
We have this information for the data set that we looked at in the last section. Here is the data set again.
6, 8, 8, 8, 10, 10, 11, 11, 12, 15, 16, 16, 20
Here are the steps to drawing a box-and-whisker plot.
- Draw a number line labeled to show the range of data from least to greatest.
- Mark the median, the upper quartile, the lower quartile, the lower extreme and the upper extreme on the number line.
- Draw in a box around the quartiles. The median is the middle line of the two boxes.
- Then draw in the whiskers. These are lines that extend from each quartile to the upper and lower extremes.
Here is a picture of a number line with a completed box-and-whisker plot on it.
Now let's examine this plot. The first box goes from the lower quartile 8 to the median 11. The second box goes from the median 11 to the upper quartile 15.5. The whiskers extend out from the lower quartile to the lower extreme of 6, and from the upper quartile to the upper extreme of 20.
Now that you know how to draw a box-and-whisker plot and find the median, quartiles and extremes of a set of data, we can work the other way around. We can look at a box-and-whisker plot to identify the median, quartiles and extremes.
We can use this chart to examine the data. The median divides the two boxes. The median here is 200. The lower quartile is 100 and the upper quartile is 300. The lower extreme is 50 and the upper extreme is 400. We can use a box-and-whisker plot to analyze data, to show data in a visual way, and to compare two sets of data.
What happens when we have a two box-and-whisker plots? What does this mean?
When we have two box-and-whisker plots on the same set of data we are comparing the similar data. The data probably has close to the same range, but we can get a good idea about the data from looking at the box-and-whisker plot. We can see how much two sets of similar data vary by looking at the plot.
This box-and-whisker plot looks at the length of the American alligator vs. the Crocodile.
American Alligators range in length from 8.2 to 11.2, with the longest being 17.5 ft long.
Crocodiles range in length from 3.3 to 7.9, with the longest being 15.9 feet long.
The top box-and-whisker plot represents the length of the American Alligator.
The bottom box-and-whisker plot represents the length of the crocodile.
The key thing to notice is that the range of the Crocodile varies more than the American Alligator.
The American alligator ranges from 8.2 to 18 ft, while the crocodile ranges from 3.3 to 16 feet. That is a range of 10 (American) compared to a range of about 13 feet (Crocodile).
Now it's time for you to try a few. Use this box-and-whisker plot.
Example A
What is the smallest value on the plot?
Example B
What is the greatest value on the plot?
Example C
What is the median of the whole data set?
Now let's go back and see what kind of visual display Travis can make given his data.
To organize this data, Travis can build a box-and-whisker plot.
First, let's go back and underline the important information. Here is the data for us to analyze. Let's find the median first of all.
30, 32, 35, 40, 45, 60, 65, 78, 90, 100, 120
The median is 60 days. That was the median number of days that it took to sell a house. What is the lower quartile number of days? This is the lowest number of days on average.
30, 32, 35, 40, 45, 60, 65, 78, 90, 100, 120
35 days is the average of the lower quartile.
What is the upper quartile number of days? This is the highest number of days on average.
30, 32, 35, 40, 45, 60, 65, 78, 90, 100, 120
90 days is the average of the upper quartile.
Then we have two extremes-the lowest number of days is 30-that is the lower extreme. The highest number of days is 120; that is the upper extreme. To get a visual of when the real estate agent can expect to sell the house, we can look at the boxes of the box-and-whisker plot. Let's draw it. First, we can take the number of days that it took to sell a home last year and use this for our data range. Selling days ranged from 30 to 120 days. That is a big range. We can organize the data in tens.
30, 40, 50, 60 70, 80, 90 100, 120
Travis looks at the chart. There is a large time range where the house will probably sell. It could sell in 35 days or in 90 days, but the average time was 60 days. Travis is excited to show his work to his Uncle Larry.
- Median
- the middle score of a set of data.
- Quartile
- dividing a data into four sections.
- Upper Quartile
- the median of a quartile on the higher end of the range.
- Lower quartile
- the median of a quartile on the lower range
- Extremes
- the highest and lowest scores possible in a range of data.
Guided Practice
Here is one for you to try on your own.
The weight of bears varies between species. Weight also varies within species as a result of habitat and diet. The box-and-whisker plot was created after recording the weight (in pounds) of several black bears across the country.
Use the box-and-whisker plot to answer the questions below.
How is the number line organized?
The number line is labeled by tens. Notice that each section on the number line has been divided into fifths. Therefore, each mark on the number line represents two.
What are the highest and lowest weights represented on the box-and-whisker plot?
The lowest value or weight is 127 pounds. The highest value or weight is 201 pounds.
What is the median weight for a black bear?
The median weight is 163 pounds.
These are our answers.

It's probably easier to herd fish in the open ocean than to lead people effectively. This is proven by the mountain of books on successful management techniques and the popularity of leadership seminars.
I don't agree with modern advisors that people need to be managed or controlled. Do people really need to be managed? Who on earth wants to be managed? How many people want to work like a chicken in a coop that will be turned into a stewing fowl if it fails to lay an egg a day?

"I'm in love with the way my site looks. Everyone who sees it says, "Wow, what a beautiful site"."
Samir Dahdul, La Bodega Wine
Many website Providers are the making the transition from processing credit cards manually to the safer and more efficient Payment Gateway method. Effective early 2009, Bottlenose made standard the installation of the Verifone PAYWare Connect Payment Gateway onto new customer websites. This Verifone product is PCI Compliant.
As a customer places an order online, the Payment Gateway checks the credit card for bank acceptance and for any filters such as AVS (Address Verification System) that the merchant has requested. If approved, the order is placed into the merchant's Admin Control Panel under the Orders Placed area. There, all pertinent information to process an order is presented.
● Bill To / Ship To address ● Shipping Method ● Payment Method ● Transaction Status ● Item (s) ordered information ● any Gift Notes to add ● any special shipping instructions to apply ● shipping charges
Note: Excluded is the customer's credit card number, which is stored by the Payment Gateway.
Approving the credit card does not mean that it has been charged. At Bottlenose, the standard set up is to present funds that have been Authorized. This means that the card has not been charged yet. Instead, the customer's bank has placed a hold for the order total, subtracting that amount from the customer's available credit line. Once the merchant has verified / edited the order and is ready to ship, then he / she can click on the link (click to capture). This action results in having the credit card charged and funds deposited into the merchant's bank account.
Payment Gateway set up and ongoing Gateway transactions fees (up to 300 transactions per month) are paid by Bottlenose. MOTO (mail order / telephone order aka card not present) fees are paid by the customer. Bottlenose has special base published rates with select Merchant Service Providers who are compatible with the Verifone Payment Gateway. Visa / MC / Discover: 2.29% plus $.20 transaction for Mid-Qualified / rewards credit cards, 2.99% plus $.20 transaction for Non-Qualified / Corporate credit cards. American Express: $.20 transaction plus standard American Express rates. Additionally, there is a $.05 per transaction AVS fee, $5.00 Monthly Statement fee

Children need boundaries and rules to learn right from wrong.
"You don't allow children to make adult decisions," Dr. Phil says. "If you allow a sixth grader to smoke and drink, what do you think she will be doing in the seventh grade, the eighth grade, and the ninth grade? You're allowing a 13-year-old to make decisions that her mother should be making." Accept responsibility and learn to say no. Get involved and set boundaries.
Don't be concerned with being the "cool mom."
It's your job to be a parent, not a friend. If you find your child's friends spending a lot of time at your house because of the lax rules, Dr. Phil says, "Kick these toxic influences on your daughter out of your house. This isn't a commune, it's your home, where you should be providing a safe and protected environment for your daughter. You said, 'I don't want her to hate me.' Let me promise you, she is going to hate you. She is going to hate you when she's 15, and she's got a kid strapped to each leg, or has some type of sexually transmitted disease. She is going to look at you some day and say, 'Why didn't you make me do right? Why were you so insecure that you had to run this popularity contest as a mother to be the cool mom so that fed your ego instead of having the guts to step up and do right by me as a child?'"
It's not only unacceptable for a sixth grader to be dating an 18-year-old; it's also illegal.
"You need to run that 18-year-old boyfriend of hers off, and I'd call the cops on him," says Dr. Phil. "I'm fairly certain that's statutory rape. And you're contributing to the delinquency of a minor by allowing it to go on ... She's going to wind up pregnant in a fast hurry if you don't stop this. You may not know much about parenting, but you're going to get a lot of practice at it because you're going to be raising your grandchildren."
Recognize that your child might be in need of drug rehab.
"This child is out of control. She needs to be in drug rehab right now," Dr. Phil tells Ann. "I can tell you that this child is addicted to alcohol and drugs, in my opinion. She needs treatment."
Get involved. It is your responsibility as a parent to know what is going on in your child's life.
You need to know what music she's listening to, who she's hanging out with, what television shows she's watching, what websites she's going to ... "If this means you have to be joined at the hip for a period of time, do it. Plug in. If you ask her what she's doing, and she says, 'Nothing' and slams the bedroom door, you need to open that door," advises Dr. Phil.

- Track state legislation with our Colorado Bill Tracker.
- Full political news coverage at denverpost.com/politics.
The bill would expand labor rights for firefighters even in localities that have voted to bar them from organizing. As introduced, it would have allowed firefighters to collectively bargain even in places where local voters barred the practice.
The bill was watered down a bit Monday. Instead of requiring bargaining, it would require only that local governments "meet and confer" with firefighting groups, not engage in actual bargaining. Firefighters would be banned from talking about salary or benefits, instead confining talk to questions of safety and equipment.
"Give Colorado firefighters a voice," said the bill's sponsor, Rep. Angela Williams, D-Denver.
The measure passed the Democrat-controlled Senate weeks ago in a stronger form. But its prospects remain uncertain. In February, Gov. John Hickenlooper took the rare step of publicly telling lawmakers he'd veto the pending bill.
In a letter, Hickenlooper asked lawmakers to consider alternatives "that respect both the political rights of firefighters and the ability of local governments to make locally accordant decisions regarding collective bargaining."
His predecessor, Democratic Gov.
Firefighters have argued they need stronger bargaining rights to negotiate for things like safety upgrades and technology. However, local governments insist the measure uses a sympathetic group of people—firefighters—to open the door to state control over local employment rules.
"I wish we'd talk about what this is really about. It's not about safety," said Rep. Tim Dore, R-Elizabeth, who voted against the revised firefighter measure.
Hickenlooper's spokesman didn't immediately say whether the governor would veto the revised version. Williams told colleagues she wasn't sure.

Transfer to State Central Collections Unit (SCCU)
Dunning Notifications
Prior to sending a student's account to SCCU, UMUC will send three dunning notifications within each term. A student will receive the first dunning letter after the start of the Mid/Session II classes. For example, if you enroll for a fall term course in May and fail to make payment arrangements and/or are excluded from disenrollment because of special circumstances (financial aid, military, etc.), you will receive the first dunning notification in November. UMUC will send all dunning notifications electronically to the preferred e-mail address that you have on file with UMUC. If you receive a third dunning letter, you must make payment to UMUC within 15 days of the date of the letter to avoid transfer to collections.
Payments are accepted online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via all major credit cards and electronic check. To make a payment, log in in to MyUMUC and click on MyFinances. To contact us about the status of a delinquent account, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
In accordance with the State of Maryland, UMUC is required to forward all delinquent accounts to the State Central Collection Unit (SCCU). An account is generally considered delinquent at 90 days past due. Once a balance has been transferred to SCCU, a collections fee of 17 percent is added to the total amount transferred.
All balances with SCCU must be paid through SCCU. Once an account has been transferred, all requests for services (registration, transcripts, diplomas, commencement reviews, transcript evaluations, etc.) will be denied until all debts are paid in full.
UMUC is only notified monthly of paid debts through SCCU. Therefore, in order to restore services with UMUC, you must provide us with a copy of your SCCU receipt indicating that your account has been paid in full.

The impact of disease on hair
Conclusion of a two-part story
By Anika Robbins
Contributing Writer
Disease and illness, and in some cases the treatment of those illnesses, are also implicit in hair loss. Auto-immune diseases like lupus cause hair loss in up to 50 percent of those diagnosed. Diabetes, alopecia areata, and other such conditions also factor significantly. Those with type 2 diabetes are particularly prone to infection. Bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic infections of the scalp are common and can result in hair loss as well. Continue Reading →

After Admission – What's Next for Transfer Students?
Congratulations and welcome to Penn State Wilkes-Barre! Below are the steps you need to take before classes begin.
Accept your offer of admission and pay your enrollment fee.
Now is the time to accept your offer of admission by paying your enrollment fee. This fee may paid online through your MyPennState account or by stopping in the Finance Office in Hayfield 110.
Schedule and attend an Advising appointment.
Transfer students should contact the Advising Office (570-675-9217) to schedule a meeting with an academic advisor. Your advisor will assist you with course scheduling and registration, and will provide you with other important information for completing the enrollment process. During your advising session, you will:
- Activate your computer Access Account. Your advisor will ask you to sign for your Penn State computer access account, which is made up of a user ID and password. Your access account will give you an official Penn State e-mail address and will allow you to access a number of Web-based programs and services at Penn State. In most cases, you'll use your access account to register for your courses.
- Schedule your courses through the eLion website. eLion is an interactive web-based service for students, faculty and advisers that provides access to academic records (course schedules, grades, transcripts, semester bill, address information and much more). To access e-Lion, you must have an active Penn State Access Account. Scheduling courses will generate a semester bill. For more information on scheduling courses, contact the Registrar's Office at 675-9233 or the Advising Office at 675-9217.
- Have your student ID picture taken for your Penn State id+ card. The Penn State id+ Card is the official University identification card and can be used to access a variety of services both on and off campus. Your card includes your photo and PSU ID number. ID cards are available in the Safety and Police Services office in Hayfield House on the first floor.
- Get your free parking permit in the Safety and Police Services office in Hayfield House on the first floor. Bring your driver's license, registration and insurance card with you. Designated parking areas are available across campus. Read the campus parking policies here.
- Purchase your textbooks at the Bookstore. Once you have scheduled your classes, go to the Bookstore in the Student Commons building to purchase your textbooks. Be sure to take your class schedule with you.
Complete your semester registration by paying your bill.
Scheduling courses will generate a semester bill. Paying your semester bill moves your registration from incomplete to complete status. An e-mail message will be sent to the your official University e-mail account announcing that your eBill is available to view and/or pay via eLion. (Penn State will NOT send you a paper bill. If you have problems with accessing your email or elion, please call the IT Support Center at 570-675-9140 or stop in the Tech Center Room 108 to get help.) You may also need to e-sign your Federal Stafford Loan Master Promissory Note.

Nicole Jenkins was always a planner. She made that clear to her husband the night they met. If he was looking for something casual, she wasn't the one. She was getting older. She wanted to get married, and have a family. She was on a five-year plan, she told the man who fell hard at first sight.
Those ongoing five-year plans became a running theme in their nearly 8 year marriage.
One of the latest plans was to get life insurance. But they were like so many of us, too busy dealing with the present to think much about the future, or what we can never imagine, or don't want to imagine, it may bring.
Two weeks before John Jenkins died, they'd gone to an event to get their children fingerprinted that ended up being a promotion for life insurance.
When the agent later called, John, 39, said they should sign up. He was a self-employed contractor. Nicole 38, worked 30 hours as a dental assistant. It only made sense with two children. But they put it off.
This is less a story about life insurance, however, than about life.

The HVY Skylift is a very large heavy-lift helicopter featured in Grand Theft Auto IV's episode The Ballad of Gay Tony. It resembles a S-64 Skycrane/Aircrane. It is first seen in the mission Caught with your Pants Down, where it is being used to transport an APC across Algonquin, in which Luis Fernando Lopez must shoot the chains holding it steady to send the APC crashing to earth in order to steal it for Yusuf Amir. It is also seen in the mission For the Man Who Has Everything, where Yusuf flies one in order to hijack a train car from the subway system.
Even though the Skylift is addressed as unobtainable, the helicopter can still be obtained with a minor exploit involving chasing Yusuf Amir and retrieving the Skylift after the mission For the Man Who Has Everything. The easiest method to use for this involves spawning a Buzzard as soon as he says "have fun with it", chasing the Skylift, and shooting it down over a large area, where it can be stolen. A video illustrating this method can be seen here. [1]
When the Skylift is obtained it can be saved at a safehouse as long as it has a lot of space (at least two wheels in the yellow chalked spot, (the best one being the Middle Park East Safehouse). The magnet doesn't work, simply because it isn't intended to be obtainable, so there is no animation for it working (except during 'For the Man Who Has Everything').
- Luis calls it an aircrane while flying to the Skylift holding the APC during Caught With Your Pants Down.
- Yusuf states when he first sees the Skylift that he wanted it. Its possible he did steal this Skylift for when Luis steals the Subway Cart during For The Man Who Has Everything.
- Although there are no stickers on the Skylift, it is manufactured by HVY, as can be heard on the police radio.
- Due to its enormous weight, it's easily the slowest helicopter in the game.
- It can take a few RPG or Buzzard rockets before catching fire.
- There are actually two models for the Skylift present during For the Man Who Has Everything, one which has the train car held beneath it, and one without it. The model with the train car can be obtained; however this is very difficult, and if the camera shifts away from the Skylift, the car will disappear. Even if obtained, the train car is not solid, and will disappear if saved.
- The Skylift is the only helicopter in the GTA series to have six blades.
- The Skylift actually has a third seat, which is facing backwards, and is located at the rear of the cockpit. However this seat can not be used by anyone.
- The logo "Liberty Sky-Lift" might be a parody of "Erickson Air-Crane", the manufacturer and main operator of the S-64, so "Liberty Sky-Lift" might be the operator of the Skylift.
- Due to a 2012 patch by Rockstar, the Skylift is no longer obtainable in the PS3 version of the game, except by using mods or hacks.

In high school, I networked throughout the community in British Columbia to find jobs as a housecleaner before working full-time for cleaning services Vancouver. This was the first experience I had with cleaning another family's home and it certainly taught me a vital lesson. When you clean your own home, you clean to your 'I'd like to be done with this,' standards and half-do most tasks. That standard is not acceptable when cleaning a client's home, but does that mean it has to take all day? The answer is no. When I went to college in UBC, I found myself employed by various maid services and cleaning companies and found that efficiency doesn't have to take the majority of your day. Putting a few practices into play can expedite the process. Try these suggestions out at home and watch the timer, because I guarantee they will save you time.
Vacuum all tile and wood surfaces before washing them. Why? Running around the room with the vacuum can pick up a lot of debris that are dragged in by foot. Doing this will prove for a better mop experience because it saves you the headache of constantly rinsing and cleaning the mop. At that point, you're getting to the germs and residue and not wasting time on the broken leaves and dust bunnies.
Take the time to de-clutter your home before jumping into cleaning. Almost every house I have ever cleaned has had a ton of clutter. You need to have the area cleared off before you attempt to clean it any way. Though budging everything over to one side seems like it would save you time, it creates residue build up and well, does not clean the surface or area.
Use a toothbrush on grouts and vents. You don not need any special tools or products, hot soapy water (maybe even a little hydrogen peroxide) and a toothbrush get these tasks done easily. The bristles are durable and provide the perfect size tool for cutting through grime and grease in just about every odd place you can think.
Use multi-tasking products and have the right tools. Different companies throughout the cleaning industry love to sell specialty tools and products to peoples. They appeal to us because they assure that cleaning will not take as long or be as demanding. In reality, they are hurting your checkbook more than you think and lead you with a cleaning closet full of barely-used space consuming products. All you really need is disinfecting all purpose cleaner, glass cleaner, a strong bathroom cleaner, and a floor cleaner that is safe on wood and tile.
These few suggestions will help your wallet and your mind. You don't have to cut corners in anyway to get a clean home fast. The majority of the time cleaning comes down to organizing your room, planning your attack, and getting it done fast. If you're looking for house cleaning in Richmond BC don't hesitate to give us a call, but until then, don't let products and laziness get in the way of your day off!

You see our "This Week" email every Monday listing the next three weeks' worth of events at ONEplace. Do you ever wonder how these events get selected…or how you can influence the selections? Let's peek behind the curtain for a brief moment.
For several months, we've been selecting workshops based upon evaluation feedback, issues from direct assistance meetings, and research studies. We then ensure a balanced offering addressing leadership, management, fundraising, and communications.
Last spring, we decided to add a strategic element as well. We developed a generic calendar of nonprofit activity that plots approximately when certain activities take place in an organization's life. For example, year-end fundraising campaigns in Nov-Dec, annual reports three months following the year's end, annual review of communications in the spring, etc. We implemented this approach July 1 with a four-webinar series on event planning (in anticipation of fall fundraising events). Series attendance exceeded workshop averages by 20%.
As we implement this further, you'll notice that we will announce some events months in advance. This will give you an opportunity to better plan your professional development and hold those spaces on your calendar.
Lastly, selected workshops will be ear-marked as ONEplace Leadership Series events. These events will address key leadership issues and will be suggested as preparatory work for those considering the ONEplace Nonprofit Leadership Academy. Topics such as Supervision, Mission/Vision, Strategic Communications, Emergency Preparedness and others will be offered.
Your evaluation feedback, survey responses, and comments offer extraordinary assistance in keeping ONEplace programming targeted to your needs. Thank you!

Surprise Your Wedding Guests
One of the many fun things about a wedding is the fact that it is your special day and you can do whatever the heck you want with it. Something that is always fun is to create surprises for your guests. Surprises can come in all shapes, sizes and types, and they create memorable conversation pieces.
Here are a couple ideas to get the creative juices flowing:
- Activities – It can be really fun to give something to your guests that is interactive. One thing that is popular here at the lodge is roasting marshmallows. A great idea is to put together marshmallow roasting kits for each guest. They can then take their kits and go roast marshmallows at their leisure. Activities like this are simple, yet effective ways at breaking out of a traditional affair and giving people new opportunities to hang out and have fun. And who doesn't love roasting marshmallows?
- Hired help – Most people don't think twice about hiring someone to handle the music at a wedding, so why not also hire additional people responsible for entertaining? If there will be a lot of kids at the wedding, perhaps have someone who will make balloon animals out of balloons with your wedding colors. It might sound silly, but having someone who can draw caricatures of guests adds an element of surprise and fun! Check in with your wedding planner or a local event planner to see the types of services available.
- Confession booth – If you have watched a reality television program in the last couple of years, you probably know what a confession booth is. But if not, it is an enclosed room where the show's participants go to share their inner secrets. The way to adapt this for the wedding is to set up a private booth where guests can go and give the bride and groom best wishes – in private. The nice thing about this is when in a more private setting, people tend to be more open and honest, and you may get some messages that you didn't expect! If you really want to spice it up, put a box with funny hats and masks in the booth and see what happens!
Of course, these are just a few ideas for how to surprise guests with something out of the ordinary. Ultimately, the goal is to have a good time and for everyone to come together for a joyous occasion. Adding some frills like the ones above add a dash of creativity to a wedding and help make the event really memorable.

Fact Sheet: Biofeedback & Bowel Disorders: Teaching Yourself to Live without the Problem112
By: Mary K. Plummer, OTR, BCIA-PMBD; Jeanette Tries, PhD, OTR
Biofeedback is a neuromuscular reeducation tool we can use to tell if certain processes in our bodies are working correctly. It is a painless process that uses a computer and a video monitor to display bodily functions that we usually are not aware of. Special sensors measure these functions, which are displayed as sounds we can hear, or as linegraphs we can see on a computer screen. A therapist helps us use this displayed information to modify or change abnormal responses to more normal patterns such as increasing a response, decreasing a response, or learning to coordinate two responses more effectively.Topics: Bowel urgency, CAM, Complementary & Alternative Treatments, Constipation, difficult to pass stools, Diarrhea, loose stools, Incontinence, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Lower Abdominal Pain, Pelvic Pain, Pelvic floor disorders
Fact Sheet: Visceral Sensations and Brain-Gut Mechanisms127
Over the past several years, different mechanisms located within the gut, or gut wall have been implicated as possible pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying the characteristic IBS symptoms of abdominal pain and discomfort. The list ranges from altered transit of intestinal gas, alterations in the colonic flora, immune cell activation in the gut mucosa, and alterations in serotonin containing enterochromaffin cells lining the gut. For those investigators with a good memory, these novel mechanisms can be added to an older list of proposed pathomechanisms, including altered gut motility ("spastic colitis") and alterations in mucus secretion.Topics: Brain-Gut, Constipation, difficult to pass stools, Diarrhea, loose stools, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Lower Abdominal Pain, Pelvic Pain
Fact Sheet: What you can do after. (Anal discomfort and how to deal with it)137
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
Symptoms related to this sensitive area can be very troubling, yet many people are reluctant to discuss them. Itching (pruritis ani), painful defecation, stained underwear, spotting of blood, and offensive odor add up to embarrassment, distress, social handicap and anguish. These complaints of anal discomfort are very common. Symptoms may coexist with the irritable bowel syndrome or other functional bowel disease. Diarrhea and constipation may aggravate them. Anal symptoms are not part of these conditions as they may occur independently. They may be due to or associated with many local diseases. Whatever the association, perianal irritation can be treated. Find out how to get help and what to do about it.

A man broke into the home of a 71-year-old woman and then sexually assaulted her.
It happened at a home on East Boulder near Platte and Circle in Colorado Springs.
"It's disgusting," said neighbor Jacques Sears.
It's a crime that moved neighbor Sears to tears.
"It makes me very uneasy and it makes me really unhappy that this happened two houses down from me," said Sears. "It's terrible. You really have to be a sick individual to do something like that. It just really makes me mad."
Police say the 71-year-old woman was watching TV when she saw someone looking through her bedroom window just after 10 p.m. Thursday.
The woman, who lives alone, grabbed her gun and went into the hallway. But the man attacked too quickly. He busted the door open, knocked the gun out of her hand, and threw her to the ground before she could fire her weapon. Then he sexually assaulted her.
It's horrible, horrifying, scary," said Andrea Smith who lives nearby.
While neighbors don't call their neighborhood safe, they never expected a crime like this.
They are on high alert knowing the suspect is still on the loose, and armed with the victim's gun.
"Having a 15-year-old daughter, it makes me really scared. I don't want her out walking ever, anywhere by herself," said Smith.
The suspect also took the victim's gun and robbed her of her wallet and cash.
Neighbors think they may know the suspect. They believe he's a homeless man they've spotted in their neighborhood before.
According to police, the man told the victim before he left that he was homeless, and stole a double-sized comforter from her sofa. The blanket is dark blue on one side, and light blue on the other. Evidence police hope will help them catch him.
Police commended the 71-year-old woman for coming forward so they can help find the suspect.
"It is heart-wrenching for us and devastating for her, so we are doing everything in our power. And now we are asking the community to help us so we can find this suspect," said CSPD Spokeswoman Barbara Miller.
Police are calling the suspect extremely dangerous and violent, and say he is armed with the victim's gun.
He's described as a black man about 6 feet tall, with a medium build. He's about 25 years old with short hair. He was last seen wearing tan Carhartt style work overalls and tan work boots.
If you have any information about this crime or the suspect you are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP (7867). Remember you can remain anonymous.

Native forest resources in the upland area of the Mattole watershed were heavily cutover and converted to grassland for grazing purposes while under private ownership. The project area known as the Bear Trap Ranch was acquired in 1983 and the Bureau of Land Management has been reforesting the area since 1985. The Mattole River Estuary is an important juvenile rearing area and adult holding area for chinook and coho salmon (listed at high risk of extinction) and steelhead. This multi-year project will establish riparian vegetation along the south bank/gravel bar of the Mattole River Estuary. The Bear Trap reforestation of upland slopes began in 1993 with 10,000 Douglas-fir seedlings, and continues yearly.
This project was supported by our corporate partner, the Alcoa Foundation.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) -- An Auburn University official says the iconic Toomer's Corner oak trees will likely be removed a few days after an April 20 football game.
Auburn University students and the public will get one final chance to roll the dying Toomer's Oaks before they are removed after the A-Day football game.
Dan King, Auburn's assistant vice president of facilities, says tells the Opelika-Auburn News that trees will likely be removed within a week or two following the game.
Earlier this month, Auburn announced the trees would be removed but didn't say when.
Officials determined the trees are unlikely to survive despite efforts to save them after they were poisoned with herbicide.
Harvey Updyke Jr., the man accused of poisoning the trees, is set to go to trial April 8.

WASHINGTON – Those who've opened a utility bill and disliked what they saw aren't stuck. Two new tools are available to help customers cut their bills or find a new supplier.
The District of Columbia Public Service Commission launches a new app called "PSC on the Go." It will be available at noon Wednesday. The app helps break down utility bills. It also lists utility choices and programs to help low income families and Pepco outage maps.
The app even gives users a glossary of terms to make sure providers are abiding by the Consumer Bill of Rights and that they aren't paying too much for each kilowatt hour of power consumed.
In Maryland, the website PointClickSwitch. offers the ability to do some comparison shopping among the suppliers licensed in the state.
Chief Executive Officer Phil Closkey calls it "the Expedia of energy suppliers."
He says there are more than 30 suppliers to choose from in the state and his firm has selected a few that do pay to be listed. Not every Maryland utility is on the site.
But Closkey says the idea behind the website is to find you the best deal from the "top suppliers."
Closkey points out that switching suppliers may not change the number or frequency of outages experienced. Suppliers simply deliver the energy consumers use. That energy is distributed over the same lines used by Baltimore Gas and Electric and Pepco.
Croskey says the real advantage of shopping around is saving some money.

Pebeo Mediums offer the artist unlimited creative possibilities. The technical and plastic qualities of each medium let the artist create new materials, mix new textures, modify brilliance, alter transparency and build collages.
Mediums are highly transparent, non-yellowing, and can be mixed with acrylic colors, inks, and other mediums, or diluted with water. They are waterproof after drying, display excellent flexibility and film softness, and adhere to most non-greasy bases.
Gloss Bindex — The professional's acrylic binder of choice for collages and inlay works of all kinds. Bindex is non-yellowing, translucent, and waterproof when dry, enhancing your projects with a flexible and satin film.
Black Mica Mortar — Made from a mixture of acrylic polymer and black micaceous iron oxide, this mortar achieves the effect of metallic material. It can be worked equally well with a knife or a brush.
Crystal Mortar — This is the thickest and heaviest mortar, made from a mixture of acrylic polymer and quartz crystals. It achieves the effects of transparent and granular materials that reflect light. When mixing with this mortar, it is preferable to use transparent colors. Mix it with Bindex to improve its attachment to the base. Dries to a gloss finish.
Gloss Gel — With a consistency similar to that of Pebeo's Extra Fine Acrylics, this gel can be mixed with colors to increase transparency and depth. It supports all collages and inlays, and is bright and transparent after drying.
Gloss Medium — Transparent after drying, this medium enhances the effect and depth of colors. It dries to a glossy finish recommended for making glazes.
Gloss Varnish — Remarkably transparent, and protective, this varnish creates a strong, flexible, and indelible film that results in an even gloss.
Matte Gel — This gel has the same characteristics as the Gloss Gel, but it dries to a matte and translucent finish.
Matte Medium — This translucent medium brings a degree of mattness that reduces color density. It can be mixed with a gloss medium for a satin finish. Shake before use.
Matte Varnish — This opalescent varnish creates a protective, strong, flexible and indelible film that dries to a matte finish.
Modeling Paste — This opaque paste has a heavy texture for creating reliefs and coatings. Mix it with acrylic color in the moist state and it retains imprints and volume. It dries to a matte finish, does not crack, and can be sculpted and rubbed down when dry.
Sand Mortar — This mortar has a thick and granular consistency resulting from an acrylic and silica polymer base, achieving the effects of granular matter. When tinted with color, it gives a beautiful effect to broken tones. It can be mixed with Bindex. Dries to a semi-matte finish.
Solvent Based UV Absorbent Varnish — Particularly recommended for the protection of artwork exhibited outdoors, this waterproof varnish gives a satin appearance that filters ultraviolet rays. When dry, the varnish can be removed with petroleum or white spirit without altering the acrylic color. Shake before use.
Structure Gel (Heavy Gel) — When this high-density gel is added to a color, it restores mellowness and allows the artist to work with a great deal of thickness. It is opalescent and extends the drying time of colors. Mix with color up to 50% for more economical painting.

We Don't Think Brad and Angelina Got Married Saturday . . . But Jennifer Aniston Got Engaged
Heading into the weekend, everyone was talking about the supposed marriage of BRAD PITT and ANGELINA JOLIE.
--The evidence? They were having a big party at their estate in France, and the guy who designed Angelina's engagement ring was one of the guests. Also, Brad allegedly bought Angelina a $400,000 watch as a wedding gift.
--Well, the official word was that Brad and Angelina were throwing a 50th anniversary party for Brad's parents . . . and as far as we know, that's exactly what happened.
--But JENNIFER ANISTON made some news . . . by getting ENGAGED to her boyfriend JUSTIN THEROUX.
--Justin's rep says, quote, "Justin Theroux had an amazing birthday on Friday, receiving an extraordinary gift when his girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, accepted his proposal of marriage."

Lindsay Lohan Caused Trouble at a Birthday Party for Clint Eastwood's Daughter

--FRANCESCA EASTWOOD . . . yes, she's one of CLINT'S daughters . . . was celebrating her 19th birthday with friends in a private room at a club called Bootsy Bellows when Lindsay showed up and WENT OFF.
--A source says she, quote, "came over and started screaming that Francesca should leave. She was yelling 'I'm a star, she's a nobody, get her out of here!'"
--When someone tried to get Lindsay to calm down, she became aggressive, and security had to ask her to leave.
--Lindsay's car almost hit a valet guy on its way out of the parking lot . . . but at least it was a friend, and not Lindsay, who was driving.
--This all happened last Tuesday. But on Friday, Francesca's boyfriend told E! News, quote, "We were celebrating . . . and it was a blast. Suddenly, there was a burst of chaos, and as quickly as it started it was over.
--"After the fact, we were all a bit confused about what just happened."
Jessica Simpson's Dad Was Arrested for DUI

--Joe was busted on Saturday, August 4th at around 10:00 P.M. He spent the night in lockup and was released a little before 10:00 A.M. the next morning.
--Sources say Joe had a blood-alcohol level of .12% . . . which is well over California's legal limit of .08%.
--This would be a first offense for Joe, who's 54 years old . . . meaning he probably won't get jail time.
Ryan Lochte Wants to Do "Dancing with the Stars" or "The Bachelor"
On Friday's "Today" show, Olympic pool pee-er RYAN LOCHTE was asked if he was going to do any reality TV . . . and he said, "Hopefully! We'll see what happens. I'm definitely looking towards, uh, 'Dancing with the Stars' and 'The Bachelor'."
--He didn't mention anything about "Project Runway" . . . but it sounds like that actually might be more up his alley.
--He added, quote, "When swimming is all said and done, I definitely want to get into fashion and design my own clothing line . . . getting into fashion . . . that is my passion."

When I first started reading Seedfolks, I thought that I wouldn't like it and that it was really boring. But now that I'm almost finished with it and I understand it more, I like it. I think the big idea of the book is that working together with others can make a big difference in the world. I don't really have a favorite character because I can't really relate to any of them, but I guess I have to choose one. I like Kim because I thought it was nice how she planted lima beans because her dad was a farmer and she wanted him to notice her.
My favorite activity last week was painting rocks in Mrs. Lubich's class. I liked this one the most because I used to paint rocks with my mom when I was little, and I haven't done it in a while.

Louise shows you that by changing your thinking...you really can heal your life!
This audio version is unabridged except for the list of dis-eases and probable metaphysical causes in Chapter 15 of the book, which are not included here.
Download the accompanying reference guide.
©1988 Louise L. Hay; (P)1988 Hay House Audio
"Her delivery is clear and energetic. Her voice and speech are conversational. No matter what bias one brings to the listening, the material offers much to think about." (AudioFile)
"I love this book"
This book belongs in the library of any respectable self help addict. It's one of those books that can truly help you if you're feeling down. If you like The Secret and are open minded or into The Science Of Mind, it's a great book.
"An oldie but a goody"
This book may be quite old now but the ideas and sugguestions in this book are as helpful today as when this book was first published/ recorded
The sound quality is reasonable but she does make reference to it being a tape rathan it being an audiobook!
Her words can be useful and comforting at almost anytime. Although I don't agree with all of her suggestions/ ideas. However, as she says if there is only one idea that helps you improve your life then that is good enough.
it is a fantastic book and has started me on my journey... thank you x
I really enjoyed listening to this book
You should defiantly read it
Or listen to it
I'm just about to start it again and this time take each chapter and do all the affirmations
What a beautiful, well written book! I feel healed! What a therapy! And what a therapist! Louise is on the money! Looking forward to meeting her! Awesome!
"A good starting point on your road to change."
I found this very helpful.
I listened all the way through the book to all the stories and then repeated it again doing the exercises the second time round..There are points in that book where it sounds like she's talking to me! Helpful support with easy to follow exercises and pertinent examples.
"absolutely beautiful"
i,ve had you can heal your life for over 7 years now and its been like a bible for me..the audio book totally compliments the paperback..hearing louise,s soothing voice is like a meditation on it own.i loved this book..thank you audible for making this title available.
"Life Changing"
This book goes beyond our everyday life and gives you a new reality. I am so thankful for Ms. Hay and this book. I owned it for a year before I could go back and accept its practices. Don't give up on it, this book has changed my life for the better.
"Love this Book"
This was one of the first books I read when I started exploring something alternative to christianity.
The sound is good, and her voice shows true conviction and passion for what she beleives.
Right on Louise!
"Perfect as always"
Louise Hay sttarted me on my spiritual path many years ago. This book is fantastic to have on my Ipod and be able to get inspiration at any given moment. 10,000 golden nuggets of information
"A must read!"
I would definitely listen to this again - I have three times already! It is great to hear Louise read her own book. It adds so much depth.
This book feels so transformative. If you can stick with it and do the affirmations, the results are amazing.
"Just what I needed!"
I loved this book! Louise hits on so many points that I could totally relate too. I almost felt as if the book were written just for me.
I have attended a Unity church in the past. I am not entirely new to the idea that one's thoughts and deep-seated beliefs create one's experience in life. However, this audio book has helped me put this into practice in my life in new ways. I was looking for some healing guided meditations as I was just about to have surgery. This is not guided meditation but it has been incredibly good for me. It has helped me work through a lot of junk from the past (still a work in progress) and let go of old feelings/thoughts/beliefs/patterns that were not serving me, and I believe, were actually making me physically sick. I have listened many times, and as time has gone by, I feel more empowered than ever to shape my own destiny.
"Talk about Learning to Take Responsibility"
I have over 50 titles in my Library and have been a member for approx 6 months. I have listened to this book 4 times and learn more and enjoy it more each time. Great blunt dose of reality! Its so easy in this day and age to blame everyone else for everything bad that happens in your life. Accountability and responsibility especially for your own actions, thoughts, and feelings are lacking in this world. This book shows you how to heal and help yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Most definitely! Louise Hay makes it easy to listen to, her voice is soothing, comforting and she is very matter of fact. She uses stories from her life and her clients life to help you understand the concepts. Made me believe even more that you need to cure your own self emotionally and mentally and have to in order to change your outcomes in life. You are capable of it without having to turn to habit forming medications or other vices if your willing and determined. I love the end of each chapter affirmations. Learn to love and value yourself, forgive and let go of the hurt and pain you've held onto.
"Great reminder about what is important in life"
Yes, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is looking to forgive themselves and others for past hurt and move on and create a better future life.
This book makes you think about your own life and people in it.
"A Classic You Will Keep Coming Back To"
There is a lot to learn about one's self in this book. I listen to this again and again to remind myself of who I am when things go tough, or simply when I go back to the old habits. I did learn to love myself after listening to this book.
Very soothing voice. Sharing her experiences, and citing everyday life experiences made it easy for me to understand and relate, thus, understanding my situations better.
I didn't believe, initially, about the 'mirror work'. I didn't try it on the second listen when it was suggested that we do the exercises. When I finally had the time, it was a very moving experience. I did cry. It made me realize 'I am also a person who needed exactly the same things I am giving to everyone else in my life.'
If you would like to discover yourself, or are going through tough times in life, help yourself and listen to this book. It will help.

Well, it's happened. F1 is testing their new tire design, which features relatively normal 18-inch wheels with smaller tires, as opposed to the ridiculously large tires on tiny 13-inch wheels. It's breaking my brain.http://jalopnik.com/f1-finally-tes...
I don't necessarily think this move is a bad thing, I'm just more used to open wheel race cars with meaty tires.
What do you think?

With over 40 museums in town, Frankfurt city breaks are ideal for art lovers. From the Städel museum's large old master collection to the tiny Museum of Applied Art, the city's riverside is studded with galleries, complemented by the embankment's Saturday flea market.
Elsewhere, Frankfurt's mix of modern towers with an old town of slanting, half-timbered houses gives it one of Europe's most striking cityscapes – only London comes close to its jarring contrasts. And while business powers Frankfurt, it doesn't always dominate it. The intact late 19th century streets of the Nordend neighbourhood still have an alternative, bohemian feel despite gentrification, while the Ostend areas clubs show Frankfurt's place at the centre of Germany's electronic music scene.
