The report of a possible fatal snakebite that occurred in Carter County on Saturday raises dozens of questions for those of us who treasure time spent outdoors. Let's address the most pressing question first.
Q: Could this happen to me or someone I know?
A: Snakebite ranks just above falling space debris as a threat to human life.
Now that we have that out of the way and can all breathe normally again, here are some other important questions and answers about snakebite.
Q: How common are snakebites?
A: The Missouri Poison Center recorded 596 venomous snakebites in the seven-year period from 1993 through 1999, or about 85 per year. None of those was fatal. The last documented death from a copperhead bite in Missouri was in 1965. For comparison, consider the frequency of fatalities from different causes in 2002 as reported by Time Magazine:
- Auto accidents, 44,757
- Bicycle, 762
- Pool drowning, 515
- Slipping in ice or snow, 103
- Bee or wasp stings, 66
- Lightning, 47
- Dog attack, 32
- Snakebite, 2
These numbers help put the risk of snakebite in perspective. Staying indoors for fear of being bitten makes even less sense than refusing to swim, bicycle or get in a car.
Q: If nearly 100 Missourians are bitten each year, why don't more people die of snakebite?
A: For several reasons. First, venom is an important tool, so snakes don't waste it. Approximately one-quarter of all bites are "dry," meaning the snake doesn't inject any venom. This often is because the snake is trying to scare away an intruder, not kill you. Second, medical treatment for snakebite is readily available in Missouri. Third, many venomous snakes simply don't have enough venom to kill a person. This can be because of the snake's size or because it recently depleted its venom supply by biting a prey animal.
Q: What venomous snakes live in Missouri?
A: The Show-Me State has five venomous snakes. These are the copperhead, the cottonmouth, and the timber rattlesnake, pygmy rattlesnake and massasauga rattlesnakes. The other 30-odd snake species native to Missouri may bite if cornered or handled, but their bites are not dangerous.
Q: Are some venomous snakes more dangerous than others?
A: Yes. Bigger snakes are more dangerous, because they carry more venom. Some species' venom is more toxic than others. Fortunately, Missouri's most widely distributed venomous snake, the copperhead, has the least-toxic venom. The toxicity of Missouri snakes' venom, from most toxic to least, is timber rattler, cottonmouth, pygmy rattler, massasauga and copperhead.
Q: Besides size

snakes are earless reptiles.they are sensitive to vibrations.so when a snake passes by you,just stand still till it passes away.do not walk and create vibrations.and i agree with dave for the use of touniquet or constricting band upstream of the bite, to slow down the blood going to the heart thus reducing the spread of vemon.

Thanks for the suggestion, Bunbun. We could send out a press release, but that wouldn't serve much purpose at this point, since the story - including information from MDC experts - already has received ample media attention. At this point, a press release might simply prolong attention to a danger that is, as you said, minimal, adding to the unnecessary anxiety. However, we have posted information on our website, so folks searching for information can find it. - Jim@mdc

Is there any way to take this information and make it a public service announcement? So many Missourians are needlessly concerned.

I Know now How My Grandfather Survived A Copperhead Bite ( ie 1890's ) Iam Not Fond Of Snakes So I Do Not Go Looking For Them . And I Just As Soon Not See Any Of Them. I Thank You For The Info you Sent Me, I know Alot More Again Thanks Mo. Con.

Anyone that spends time outdoors should be aware of the types of venomous snakes in their area and know how to identify them. I hope that people don't kill any snakes on site, as a previous commenter stated. The best course of action is to leave snakes alone, and keep your eyes open for them when you are in their habitat.
On July 6th, 2012 at 8:05am lowj said:
You will get no argument from me about infection from nonvenomous snakebites, Michael. I was just making the point that they aren't the same sort of threat as a cottonmouth or copperhead. BTW, as noted in my blog post, our herpetologist says timber rattlers have the most potent venom of any Missouri snake, followed by cottonmouths. Copperheads are at the bottom of the list.
On July 5th, 2012 at 7:20pm Michael said:
(1). I disagree with you on non-poison snake bites not dangerous! Many of the non-poisonous snakes have germs in their mouths, and can become infected, like the common water snakes, the black snakes that eat mice, rats, and eggs, ect. (2). Missouri snakes for the most part, are not fatal. The Cottonmouth, is probably the strongest venom, I would rather the copperhead over the cottonmouth bite. (3). The risk would be to a person with a heart problem, or weak system. Not that a strong, healthy person has nothing to worry about, but it is very unlikely to do more than be sick and some pain. I worked for the Conservation in my younger years, and I like snakes, but respect them. Michael

Unfortunately, news media that jumped on the "fatal snakebite" story but have been far less interested in reporting their error in assuming that the bite killed the victim. Regarding snake's secretive nature, a group of people standing around probably doesn't feel like much of a threat to a snake. About not using a tourniquet or constricting bands, this is simply the current medical advice. Cutting off blood flow to part of the body can cause serious damage and is unnecessary. As far as back-country snakebite is concerned, 1) Missouri has few places you can't get out of in an hour or two and 2) your time is better spent getting to medical help than engaging in ineffective or harmful first-aid. However, I am NOT a medical expert, so by all means go to expert sources to for medical advice. The "Extractor" mentioned in Sharon's comment is sold for use on insect stings and snake bites. The vacuum device doesn't seem to offer any different benefits than the old-style rubber cups, which medical experts say don't do any good. I am glad to see that the Extractor kit doesn't include a blade for cutting into the skin. - Jim@mdc

You recommended not using the old style snake bite kits. What about a device called the Extractor, sold by Sawyer Products. I've used it many times for insect bites, but have never been bitten by a snake.

Thank you MDC . This story will cause many snakes to be killed on sight I am afraid though. I hope you can get the real facts out.
On July 3rd, 2012 at 4:21pm Dave said:
I would like to comment on afew things in this article. One of the things that I have noticed from personal experience is that copperheads are not secretive nor shy of humans. I have seen them come out around humans (within 10 feet of a group of talking humans) and they don't seem to mind. Now, I am wondering why you not put a constricting band "upstream" of the bite. I have heard the theroy behind that is it will slow down the blood going to the heart thus reducing the spread of vemon. But you only do that if you are afew hours away from medicial treatment. I also was wondering what to do if you are in the deep woods and get biten? Thanks for any and all info. Dave
On July 3rd, 2012 at 3:32pm lowj said:
News Flash! The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the cause of death of the man in question was heart attack. Snakebite was a contributing factor. To answer your question, "Anonymous," copperheads are found throughout most of Missouri. However, they are secretive and very shy of humans, so most of them are never seen. - Jim@mdc
On July 3rd, 2012 at 3:22pm Ken said:
Thanks for this information. I wish it was in every newspaper in Missouri. There are so many errors in peoples opinion of snakes.

Are these snakes commonly found in urban & suburban habits ?
On July 3rd, 2012 at 2:49pm lowj said:
To my knowledge, never. That was my point. Your chances of dying from a copperhead bite are next to none. The average copperhead simply doesn't have enough venom to kill a healthy adult human.

It doesn't hang on the front door, but rather on a hook (nail) in the space between our front door and our front window on our porch. I think it works rather nicely there since our front door has a storm door on it anyways.
To make the wreath I just started by wrapping a straw wreath (leaving the plastic covering on the straw) with the orange yarn. I picked a dark orange color instead of bright. Then I did a cross pattern around the entire thing with black yarn. I found the "happy halloween" foam sign at Dollar Tree and just glued the ends of "halloween" to the sides of the wreath and used the black string on the ends of "happy" to attach it to the back of the wreath.
I got the styrofoam skeleton head at Micheal's and actually cut the back half of the skull off to make it flat so I could glue it on the wreath. My children exclaimed that I had "cut out his brains". hahaha!
I bought the bat at Michael's too and splurged on it ($2.99 yikes!) because I thought it would work so good on the wreath. Some times you just have to make the splurge people when it comes to crafting! ;)
The spiders were actually spider rings that I purchased at Dollar Tree. There were like 100 in the package. I just cut off the ring part and then hot glued them on the wreath.
I thought I was done after adding the spiders but after hanging it up outside I thought it just needed something else....Why not wiggly eyes?? I of course just had those on hand because they are my most favorite thing in the whole wide world.
After a long stare at the wreath they both declared their approval. Why do they look a bit frightened?? Well, I may or may not have told them that the creatures on the wreath actually come alive at night....hahahahaha! totally kidding.
Happy Crafting!!

The Trayvon Martin case has sparked the mobilization of millions who are morally outraged because Trayvon symbolized the targets and victims of the deeply racialized U.S. criminal justice system. This case is socially and politically explosive. To understand the social and political dynamics of this case, we have to focus on the centrality of race and the criminal justice system. Americans profess to believe that the rule of law should be applied equally to all citizens regardless of race or status. Yet, it is beyond dispute that the criminal "justice" system functions from start to finish (definitions of crime, investigation, arrest, charging, conviction and sentencing) in a racially biased way.

PA Gov. Says Montgomery Co.'s Issuing Marriage Licenses "Risk Causing Serious Harm"
Jim Burroway
August 14th, 2013
In a legal filing on Monday by lawyers for the Pennsylvania's state Health Department and Gov. Tom Corbett (R), lawyers argued that the actions of Montgomery County Clerk D. Bruce Hanes's decision to begin issuing marriage licenses "risks causing serious and limitless harm" and is a violation of the separation-of-powers in the state of Pennsylvania. The Corbett administration is asking the court to order a halt to the issuing of marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
"There is no limit to the administrative and legal chaos that is likely to flow from the clerk's unlawful practice," the administration's lawyers wrote.
The administration said Hanes has a duty to follow state law that defines marriage as between a man and a woman – and argued that county officials who flout the law "may be guilty of a misdemeanor for each act of neglect or refusal."
…"Ours is a government of laws, not one of public officials exercising their will as they believe the law should be or will be," the administration argued, adding that only courts can declare a law unconstitutional and suspend it.
Hanes began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples following the Supreme Court's decision striking down the Defense of Marriage Act and State Attorney General Kathleen Kane's (D) announcement that she wouldn't defend the state's ban on marriage equality in court. The state's statute limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples is being challenged in court by the ACLU.

Conference Offers Pastoral Counselors Tools to Help Victims of Trauma
Contact: Joanna Klimaski
(212) 636-7175
Rabbi Stephen Roberts, president and chief executive officer for Clergy for a Healthy America, Inc., describes how
pastoral care workers can help trauma victims regain some control in an uncontrollable world.

For the person, family, or community that undergoes a traumatic event, life is changed forever. Beliefs that sustained a secure worldview can shatter, leaving victims with a fractured sense of themselves, others, and even God in the aftermath.
And with more than 60 percent of those who suffer a trauma choosing to seek help from their faith communities, religious leaders need to understand how to respond, said Rabbi Stephen Roberts, president and chief executive officer of Clergy for a Healthy America, Inc.
Rabbi Roberts gave the keynote address at "Reflecting in the Aftermath: The Ministry of Spiritual Care for Trauma Victims and Spiritual Care for the Self." The two-day symposium, which was co-sponsored by Fordham's
Graduate School of Religion and Religious Education
(GRE) and the National Association of Catholic Chaplains (NACC), took place Feb. 28 and March 1 on the Rose Hill campus.
Rabbi Roberts highlighted spiritual tools that people use—whether consciously or unconsciously—during challenging periods of their lives. These can range from praying and reading Scripture, to practicing hobbies and spending time in a supportive social group.
The job of spiritual leaders, Rabbi Roberts said, is to bring these resources to the forefront and help people recognize which tools can help them cope.
"Our job is to take it from the unconscious to the conscious, because in the consciousness is the control, and in the control is resilience. That's what trauma and disaster take away—control," he said.
"The question becomes, 'What can I do to control my life in an uncontrollable world?' Often, what we offer somebody is that ability—the knowledge that there are things we can control, [for instance,] these spiritual tools."
C. Colt Anderson, Ph.D., dean of GRE, said that, when helping others through the darkness of trauma, clergy and pastoral caregivers will eventually confront the classic problem of evil: How can an allegedly good God permit suffering?
The question, Anderson said, leads many victims of trauma to question whether God is trustworthy, or whether God has abandoned them. Moreover, in the aftermath of trauma, victims and caregivers alike are tempted to try to make sense of random and senseless suffering, particularly when it is the result of cruelty or violence.
In the end, can we really make sense of such a thing?
"You can never make sense of evil, and you shouldn't tell people to try," Anderson said. "You're leading them down a path that ends in bitterness. And bitterness is death in life—the loss of trust."

Instead, those who counsel in a pastoral setting need to reflect mercy and compassion, and to offer hope that life after trauma can be good nonetheless.
"Being compassionate means opening yourself up to suffering. You have to undergo it with them—but not fully—so that you can help lead them to see a way out," he said. "That's what we as Christians are called to look at—the promise that something good can still happen, . . . that even in the midst of feeling forsaken, we have the promise of the resurrection."
Also presenting were assistant professors of pastoral counseling Lisa Cataldo, Ph.D., and Mary Beth Werdel, Ph.D. Speaking from the standpoint of clinical and research psychologists, each told audience members to be mindful of the unique psychological needs of trauma victims—including making room for difficult religious questions.
"In the aftermath of trauma, a person's experiences are so fragmented that they don't feel connected to parts of themselves," Cataldo said, explaining that trauma often causes victims to dissociate from parts of themselves that are too painful to experience. "From a religious perspective, these different parts of ourselves have different God-images… The hurt and damaged parts of you hold a different image of God than the parts of you that feel secure."
While questions about God's goodness may be difficult for religious leaders, it is critical that they consider them.
"If we don't, we risk a kind of spiritual bypassing, when you use your spirituality to avoid pain," she said. "Ultimately, for a mature faith that can help you live for the rest of your life with the trauma that will never go away, we have to include all the parts."
According to Werdel, this is especially important in light of the fact that positive religious coping is one of the key factors related to posttraumatic growth, i.e., the potential for trauma victims to gain new, positive understandings of themselves and the world following disaster.
"This is not pollyannish thinking and not denial, but a paradox," Werdel said. "And we as pastoral care counselors need to be able to hold that paradox.
"[Moreover], there's been a lot of research lately about how important the work of spiritually-minded professionals is, to intentionally talk about God in moments of stress and trauma… And not just look for the positive God-image, but ask about the negative image, be wiling to travel to that darkness."
David A. Lichter, D.Min., executive director of the NACC, opened the conference on Feb. 28 with his talk, "Chaplaincy Today: A Profession and Ministry."

In this breathtaking sequel to City of Bones, Cassandra Clare lures her readers back into the dark grip of New York City's Downworld, where love is never safe and power becomes the deadliest temptation.
Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter and your mother is in a magically induced coma? The Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go -- especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil -- and also her father.
About The Author
Cassandra Clare was born to American parents in Teheran, Iran and spent much of her childhood travelling the world with her family, including one trek through the Himalayas as a toddler where she spent a month living in her father's backpack. She lived in France, England and Switzerland.
She started working on her first novel, City of Bones, in 2004, inspired by the urban landscape of Manhattan, her favourite city. She turned to writing fantasy fiction full time in 2006 and hopes never to have to write about Paris Hilton again. She hates working at home alone because she always gets distracted by reality TV shows and the antics of her two cats, so she usually sets out to write in local coffee shops and restaurants.

Jonathan Ablard, associate professor of history and co-director of the Latin American Studies program, has published an essay in Perspectives, the newsletter of the American Historical Association.
Ablard's essay, "My New Attendance Policy," reflects on alternatives to the roll-call convention of higher ed. As he writes, "Part of the joy of the classroom is the sense of the collective that often emerges as students and teachers form bonds around the shared experiences of learning, and the struggles that sometimes arise with it. The nontraditional roll call can provide moments when teacher and student can get to know each other, have a laugh, and reinforce course material in more informal ways. And a little levity, especially being able to laugh at oneself, offers a useful antidote to many students' fear of failure and their stress at encountering new material and the new experience of college itself."

Danielle Fernande Dominique Schuelein-Steel was born Aug. 14, 1947 in New York City. She was the only child of John Schuelein-Steel of the famed Lowenbrau beer family from Munich, and Norma Schuelein-Steel, daughter of a Portuguese diplomat. After her parents divorced, the seven-year-old Steele spent her formative years in Paris and New York, and was raised mostly by an absentee father and servants. The fact that she was exposed to lavish parties, lived in designer homes, and hobnobbed with the rich and famous at an early age would serve her well in later years. She started writing stories as a child and then poetry as a teenager. At age 15, she graduated from the prestigious Lycée Françai... Continue Bio >>

Research for Spinal Cord Injury
Like many people with an SCI, you may wonder if a cure to repair your spinal cord will be found in your lifetime. No one is sure when a cure will be found. But every day researchers are learning more about how the spinal cord works. They are using this knowledge to make progress in improving treatment of SCI. This sheet provides a brief summary of cure research and what it might mean to you.
Focus of Current Research and New Treatments
With SCI, damage is not restricted to nerves at the injury site. The injury triggers a complex reaction in the body. This can also damage nearby healthy nerves, blood vessels, and tissues. After the initial injury heals, scar tissue can form at the site. This may cause further damage to nerves and keep them from regrowing. Because spinal cord injuries are so complex, finding a cure has not been easy. Current research suggests that a cure will likely involve not just one, but several treatments.
Research efforts have mainly been focused on these goals:
Minimizing damage to nerves at the injury site
Getting damaged nerves to regrow (also called nerve regeneration)
Improving rehabilitation methods to increase mobility and function
Improving treatments for specific health problems in the body
Treatments to test this research have involved some of the following:
Using certain medications to help reduce or prevent damage to nerves shortly after injury
Transplanting healthy nerves at the injury site to promote nerve growth
Using special technologies or devices to improve nerve and muscle control in the body
Using new medications, procedures, or surgery to treat health problems, such as pain, muscle spasms, and bowel and bladder control
Participating in Research
New clinical trials and experiments for SCI are always being planned. You may hear about one of these and wonder whether you should participate. If so, talk to your healthcare team. They can advise you on whether a specific trial or experiment is likely to benefit your health. They can also help you steer clear of unproven claims and risky bets.
To Prepare for the Future, Live in the Present
It's easy to focus on the possibility of a cure and forget about where you are today. Currently, there is no cure for SCI. So, live your life as fully as possible with the abilities you have now. Keep your body as healthy as possible. Follow the plan that your healthcare team has set out for you. Take care of your skin, your muscles, and your overall health. Work with your healthcare team to achieve and maintain the highest level of function possible with current treatments for your level of SCI. By staying as healthy as you can, you increase your chances of being able to take advantage of new treatments in the future, including steps toward a cure. You also give yourself a higher quality of life right now.

The on-going space voxel project by the six sibling studio, ZanMgt! A labor of love, Blockade Runner is an ever-evolving development that's currently undergoing a major engine overhaul to provide a solid foundation for the game's bi-weekly builds. We've found the bi-weekly builds to be an enjoyable and healthy development cycle and are anxiously preparing the game for their return!
We had some fun playing with the new characters and the gravity boots in multiplayer!
We also recorded a video that should be up soon!
A release with the characters will hopefully be out by this weekend, we're trying to get a Lite edition out at the same time as well.

The Apple store couldn't figure this out? You have system sounds muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Left, Right & Christ: A Book Excerpt
"The ultimate solution," Karnani says, "is government regulation. Its greatest appeal is that it is binding. Government has the power to enforce regulation. No need to rely on anyone's best intentions." In a WSJ podcast interview Karnani uses the problem of pollution as an example:51
Karnani: When companies manufacture certain products, they pollute the environment. The only way to produce less pollution is for the company to make less profit. We cannot expect companies to do this voluntarily out of some sense of corporate responsibility motive. So, now we need society to set pollution standards. That is the role of government. That is the role of the political mechanisms we have set up in society to determine the appropriate pollution levels that we are willing to tolerate.
Interviewer: Does that regulation also impact shareholders of the company?
Karnani: Absolutely. When we regulate pollution like that it will penalize the company, because it will have to follow these standards. So, for example, companies are not allowed to burn sulfur coal and they are mandated to put in place some pollution-reducing equipment. This clearly hurts profits, but we think it's in society's interests to do this.
Interviewer: So, maybe the shareholders are less upset about taking those necessary steps?
Karnani: They might be upset, but they have to follow the law. And it's up to society to make these trade-offs between profits and, in this particular case, pollution.
Author and historian Clifford Cobb, makes several practical recommendations for the dismantling of global neo-liberal, free-market capitalism. In addition to government regulation of multi-national corporations, Cobb recommends debt forgiveness for undeveloped and developing countries, the end of privatization of natural resources, and land reform such that the people who work the land own it--not multi-national corporations. In ancient Israel, God constructed a system where the Israelites could only lease land, because the land was for the good of the nation not individuals and ultimately it belonged to God. Likewise, land reform might only allow corporations to lease land under regulatory standards set by the developing country and with the understanding that the people own the land.52
Cobb also recommends restructuring taxes by doing away with wage and consumption taxes, which make the bulk of the burden fall on workers and the poor. Rather, Cobb says, "If justice is to be done, most of the taxes should fall on property ownership and not on wages, not on people."
In God's economy and in today's world, justice for all humanity requires appropriate limitation of liberty for businesses. It requires that we bow to the will of God concerning the well-being of people made in God's image. It requires that we value people more than money. It requires that we repent from our addiction to growth and consumption. Businesses don't have to be empires. It is usually best for society when they are not. Above all, we must depose the dominion of the market. The market is not God. God is God.

LACMA and the Farhang Foundation present internationally renowned artist Shirin Neshat at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's Bing Theater at 8:00 pm. The program includes a screening of work-in-progress segments of her film "Women without Men," followed by a discussion between Shirin Neshat and Nasrin Rahimieh, Professor of Comparative Literature and Film, University of California, Irvine.
"Women Without Men," Shirin Neshat's first feature-length film, is based on a magic realist novel written by Iranian author Sharnush Parsipur. The narrative interweaves the lives of four Iranian women during the summer of 1953, a pivotal moment in Iranian history when an American led Coup d'état brought down the democratically elected Prime Minister Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh and reinstalled the Shah to power. The film chronicles the lives of the four characters in parallel manner. Each woman appearing to be suffering and running away from some sort of social, cultural or sexual oppression; yet their lives mysteriously converge in an orchard where they attempt to create their own society. The story follows the construction and eventual breakdown of this 'utopian' society. The film is expected to be released in 2009-2010.
Shirin Neshat was born 1957, Qazvin, Iran. Although she lives and works in New York, her artwork explores issues of her native society, Iran, especially the position of women. She uses the specifics of her background culture to create works that communicate universal ideas about loss, meaning, and memory. Shirin Neshat's photographs and videos have been included in many international exhibitions and have received numerous recognitions and awards. In 1996 Neshat was awarded a grant from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation.
Read more about Shirin Neshat. Read an interview.
This event is ticketed. Tickets are free-of-charge, and will be available at the Museum's box office one hour prior to the start of the program.
Farhang Foundation is a non-religious, non-political and not-for-profit foundation established in 2008 to celebrate the art and culture of Iranian-Americans in its widest extent. The foundation supports academic activities in Southern California by funding university programs, publications and conferences. The foundation also supports cultural programs such as celebration of Nowruz and Mehregan, theater, dance performances, films screenings and poetry reading in Southern California. Farhang Foundation, in cooperation with various cultural and academic institutions plans major programs and exhibitions about Iran and its culture.
Since its inception in 1965, LACMA has been devoted to collecting works of art that span both history and geography—and represent Los Angeles' uniquely diverse population. Today, the museum features particularly strong collections of Asian, Latin American, European, and American art, as well as a new contemporary museum on its campus, BCAM. With this expanded space for contemporary art, innovative collaborations with artists, and an ongoing transformation project, LACMA is creating a truly modern lens through which to view its rich encyclopedic collection.

Thoughts on Kansas StateKansas State isn't too far away from being an undefeated team right now. They have played two tough road games against Auburn and Texas. They had the lead late into the game against Auburn, which is their only loss on the year.Kansas coach Mark Mangino talked about what he has seen on film from the Wildcats so far."Kansas State is playing at a high level and played well in all three phases of the game against Texas," Mangino said. "On offense they throw the ball with Josh Freeman and Jordy Nelson is a talented player. They have capable running backs. On defense they are aggressive and play sound football. They put pressure on you in a variety of ways. They are a good team, but we feel we are a good team too."Special teams big for Kansas StateThe special teams have been a big part for the success of Kansas State. They have been solid on kickoff and punt returns this season.Last week against Texas they returned a punt and kickoff for a touchdown. On their punt return unit they keep two players back to increase the percentages of a better return. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 4: Two New Cast Members Joining?
Who's joining the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 4 cast? At this point, everyone from Lisa Rinna to model Branda Soleimani have been named (and subsequently debunked) as future Housewives.
Most recently, Casey Kasem's wife, Jean, told TMZ reporters she had spoken to Bravo producers about joining the show to replace departing cast members Camille Grammer and Adrienne Maloof.
Sources tell E! News two women are definitely set to make their reality TV debut on the show — but Jean isn't one of them.
Insiders say no Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 4 scenes have been shot with Jean and the rest of the cast.
While Jean strikes us as being on the kookier side, another source says it's not totally out of left field rumors of her joining the cast have surfaced. She's reportedly been in talks with Bravo's people during past season of RHoBH but turned down multiple offers to be a part of the show
Jean may be no-go, but there are still some casting news loose ends to contend with. Back in February, former Extra host Dayna Devon was reportedly scoping out Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and Baroness Monica Von Neumann hasn't been completely ruled out either. Actress and designer Carlton Gebbia has also joined the rumor mill as a potential future Housewife.
Who are you hoping to see in Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 4?

Spelling Wisdom
Publisher: Simply Charlotte Mason, LLC
This is one of my 102 Top Picks!
|Instant KeyPublishers InfoPricing
Spelling Wisdom
See the complete review in 102 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum.
Charlotte Mason taught spelling in the context of reading and writing rather than as an isolated subject. She used the method of "prepared dictation," which Sonya Shafer has adopted for her Spelling Wisdom series. The series consists of five books that cover grades three through twelve. Each book will be used for about two years or longer.
The bulk of each Spelling Wisdom book consists of dictation passages, many of which are taken from literary works by famous authors such as Charles Dickens, Daniel DeFoe, Winston Churchill, and Jane Austen. Literary works include excerpts from novels, autobiographies, poems, speeches, Psalms, readers, and letters—almost all of these are from older works in the public domain. Shafer has added a few original passages so as to include newer words such as "computer" and "infrastructure," and she has updated spelling and punctuation in some instances to match modern usage. More than 12,500 different words are used in the Spelling Wisdom series. These include the 6,000 most-frequently-used words in the English language....
Students might use one or two passages per week. Passages become increasingly difficult and lengthier from book to book as well as within each book. Book 1 is suitable for grades three through five, Book 2 for grades five through seven, Book 3 for grades seven through nine, Book 4 for grades nine through eleven, and Book 5 for grades eleven and twelve.
Students begin each lesson by studying the passage with a parent or teacher to identify words likely to be challenging. Students then study the challenging words by copying them, visually memorizing them, and practicing writing them....Once students are confident that they can write every word accurately, they will write the passage as the parent or teacher dictates it. Any misspelled words are restudied.
Literary passages often feature lengthier sentences and uncommon phrasing that might be unfamiliar to students who have not been exposed to literature of past centuries. This probably adds an extra dimension of difficulty as students listen to, recall, and write the passages from dictation....Christian works are referenced often enough that the series really appeals primarily to a Christian audience.
Brief instructions are at the front of each book. You can view these pages as part of a free downloadable sample file on the publisher's website. A parent or teacher needs to be involved in much of the lesson, although students might study words on their own....
Spelling Wisdom books are also available as digital downloads. A British version of Spelling Wisdom offers the same series with British spelling preferences. British versions are available only as downloadable files. See the publisher's website for British prices.
A free YouTube video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGqakdjcS_U features Sonya Shafer demonstrating how prepared dictation (and Spelling Wisdom) works.
print editions (American) $21.95 each, $87.95 for the series of 5 books

I don't think I want to breastfeed.
I wasn't breastfed. My sisters weren't breastfed. My cousins, my friends, no one at that time did this. Now, it's back in style. But we all turned out very healthy. I'm already a DD, don't want to get any bigger, don't want to lose the little elasticity I have, and am probably going right back to work. What does anyone think of this?

If you don't want to, then don't. Don't allow anyone to make you feel guilty about it either. I didn't breastfeed my first child and she is smarter than any of the children in her age group that we have encountered. I am breastfeeding my son exclusively and we will wait and see how he turns out!posted 05/16/2010 by Bries-Mommy
Its a beautiful thing to breastfeed your child. I wasn't too keen on it before I had bub... But my bub is 4 months old now and I am so glad I breastfed. It's a beautful bonding experience. The first six weeks is hard, perservere and the pros far outway the cons!posted 06/25/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Do it! It was SO tough on me in the beginning, every day I thought I would quit but I toughted it out for baby and I am SO SO proud, everyday I am proud at what I achieved in terms of breastfeeding. I would never pressure a mom to quit if she was realy struggling but you might be surprised at what a boost to your self-esteem as a mom it will be. If all the other moms are breastfeeding around you you might be sad to be giving your baby a bottle (I know my best friend is) and feel really proud to join right in! That said, if you give it your best and dont feel you can keep going, I fully support your decision to quit. Definitely worth a try though! Good luck mamma!posted 11/23/2011 by sandifromct
My brother and I weren't breastfed and neither were my cousins, however back at that time they didn't know how great breastmilk was for baby, yeah they new it was good but also thought formula was just as good. With all the research done now there are numerous reasons why breastfeeding is being pushed again. It is healtheir for your baby, it is best for your baby but if you decide not to breastfeed does that make you bad, no not at all. i do think you should give it a try. Your milk will come in either way so it doesn't matter, your boobs will get bigger for a while regardless. I thought while I was pregnant that I wasn't going to like breastfeeding much but I'd give it a whirl just because i knew the benefits. I can tell you that it was a really great bonding experience for me and my son and then again with my girl. i ended up ebf both of them, my son for a year and my dd for a little over a year so you never know you could change your mind once you try it out.posted 02/27/2010 by cathy13mom
The great thing about having your own baby is YOU get to decide all the important stuff, and that includes whether or not to BF. All my siblings were formula-fed and we turned out fine, too. It's not easy to pump at work; I hated doing it. But even that one extra breastmilk bottle made it worth it during the first months back at work. It wasn't until my supply really dropped off (when my baby slept through the night and my period came back), that I quit pumping. My baby's seven months old and I'm happy I tried BF and stuck with it. It was the best thing for my situation, even though it was a really rocky start. I was a C cup before pregnancy, a D during pregnancy and also once BF was underway. Now that I'm almost done BF, I'm back to a C cup and I've not noticed any loss of elasticity or perkiness (to be honest, the boobs weren't that great pre-pregnancy, either, but they haven't gotten any worse). You'll make the right choice, whatever you decide.posted 03/07/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
You should do what's best for you. From experience it's such a wonderful bond with your baby. Your baby will be extremely close to you when you nurse and your baby will be very healthy. I have been nursing my son for 7 months and he has never been sick. He has never had a fever, ear infection, flu, cold, or anything. He goes to the sitter time to time and I pump so he will have milk. Also when their newborns it?s so convenient you don't have to make any bottles to feed them. Nursing can also help you lose your baby weight.posted 02/27/2010 by HappyMother2008
I am not selfish, I am just plain uncomfortable about the whole subject of breast feeding. I also want daddy to be able to join in the process of feeding early on. To me I would feel selfish if I hogged all the feeding and initial bonding time myself. I have a very high pressure job and pumping will not be convenient after six weeks, but I'm going to make it work. I don't believev that it's right for everyone and i am going to ignore anyone that tries to make me feel bad about it.posted 09/26/2012 by Koala898
oh and by the way, it will get you SKINNY!!!! I lost all the baby weight and THEN some without doing a THING! Breastfeeding will make oyu look awesome! Its like working out while sitting on the couch in front of the TV. I can eat more now than when I was pregnant and I still weigh 5 pounds less than before I got pregnant. Huge plus.posted 11/23/2011 by sandifromct
I was not sure I wanted to breastfeed when I was pregnant. But after I learned more about breastfeeding during my pregnancy I decided that I definitely wanted to give it a try. Almost 18 months later I am still nursing and am so very glad I made the decision to breastfeed.posted 02/28/2010 by tmwmommy
This is your choice. Don't let people make you feel guilty for not breastfeeding. It's not for everyone. I decided to give it a try, but was not producing enough milk so the doctor had me supplement with formula. Therefore, I had to pump multiple times throughout the day and then mix with foumula so that I would know how much my baby was getting. Then I got a UTI and had to take antibiotics for 10 days. So I had to keep pumping, but throw out the breast milk for 10 days. It was all so frustrating that I finally made the choice to stop. She got some breastmilk from me for about 5 weeks. She's a very healthy 7 month old and has been mostly formula fed. It was such a stress relief when I stopped pumping and I feel like I made the right decision.posted 03/08/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

Point of View
It appears more and more that the government is attempting to invade every single arena of our public life. Back in the early 1900s, the government wanted to take control of what went on in the bedroom, thankfully that was later shot down, but I have a feeling that is where we are headed next.
The biggest argument for the government to maintain text messages from consumers is for future purposes in case a crime is committed. Currently AT&T keeps text messages for two days, Verizon for five days and Sprint for 12 days, but if legislation is passed those texts will be kept for up to two years. My argument has always been to never send a text of anything that you wouldn't want your mother to see.
Its almost like saying texting is only convenient if you are unable to speak at the moment. But in this generation, people are more inclined to text versus speaking on the phone, perhaps we don't even want to talk to people anymore. I can understand the government's reasoning for wanting to keep those texts, but it truly is an invasion of privacy. The government is already attempting to regulate what we eat. Yes, there are a lot of unhealthy things out there, but that is up to the consumer's decision to decide what they eat and do not eat. If the government is so concerned with what we're eating then make the food that is deemed healthy more affordable for the consumer.
With this recent insurgence of news about texts that some of believe to be private perhaps getting into the hands of authorities, I have no idea what is private anymore. Before you know it the government will be regulating the type of car that we drive, the homes that we live in, the clothes that we wear, where we can eat and who we can date. We will no longer be a democracy we will become a dictatorship and trust me that is something that Americans will not allow to happen. Sorry government, hands off my texts, but also be wary consumers; don't send something in a text that you would not want anyone else to see or know about.

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. – They've been in the Martintown Plaza on Knox Avenue for over 11 years, but now the Goodwill Store is closing.
Susan Everitt, Director of Communications, said the store will close after a sale that ends on February 18, 2012. The leasing company decided not to renew the lease of the organization.
They began a sale last month that will continue through February 18, attempting to clear out some of the inventory in the story. Man employees are being moved to other stores in the area.
Their next step is to look for a new location in North Augusta that they can tailor to their needs. In the meantime, they will have a drop box set up in Martintown Plaza.
The next closest stores are the Aiken Goodwill Career Campus at 1015 Pine Log Road in Aiken and the Augusta Goodwill Campus at 3179 Washington Road.
