Individuals with ADPKD also suffer from other complications such as hypertension, cyst infections, abdominal pain and have an increased risk of intracranial aneurysms. Present ADPKD management is focused on treating symptoms. Understanding the mechanisms of ADPDK will allow us to develop safe and effective treatments. Jared Grantham, M.D. PKD Foundation Co-founder As a researcher at Kansas University Medical Center, Grantham dedicated his life to studying PKD. Grantham decided to study medicine while in the hospital with polio at age 14. After graduating from Baker University in 1958, he earned a degree from the KU School of Medicine in 1964. He then spent five years on a National Institutes of Health grant to be trained in kidney research. He started working on PKD as a KU faculty member in 1969. Over time, Grantham, has made several key discoveries about kidneys, including that the blood-filtering organs secrete their own fluid in addition to absorbing fluid. That secretion helps lead to the cysts that cause PKD. His research laid the groundwork for a boom in kidney research at the Med Center. Grantham also has become an advocate for PKD issues. In 1982, he co-founded the PKD Foundation with Kansas City businessman Joseph Bruening, whose wife had the disease.

Turmoil Continues for Prince George's School Management
Six weeks before the end of the school year, controversy continues to roil in the Prince George's County school system's leadership.
In recent weeks, the interim schools superintendent announced his resignation, a Board of Education member was penalized for making unauthorized charges with her county-issued credit card, the selection process for school board appointees began and a group of county residents are organizing against the law which granted power to Prince George's County Executive Rushern L. Baker III to make sweeping changes to school management.
Interim Superintendent Alvin Crawley announced on April 25 that he would leave the school system effective June 3, almost a month before his contract's June 30 expiration date. Crawley is throwing in the towel as Baker searches for a new schools chief. Baker said publicly that he had hoped that Crowley would continue until the end of his contract to allow for a smoother transition once the new superintendent is found.
But in a statement, Crawley, whom sources said was disappointed that he was not a contender for the permanent job, said he is resigning early with "mixed emotions." He added that he is "very proud of the accomplishments" he made during his tenure.
The school board responded to Crawley's resignation with a statement that took a jab at Baker.
"We are saddened by Dr. Crawley's decision to leave early," the statement said. "However, due to the passage of the recent legislation changing the governance structure of our school system, we fully understand."
Crawley was one of three candidates vying for the position of superintendent before Baker announced plans to overhaul the system. Among Baker's priorities was to make drastic changes in the superintendent selection process. All candidates withdrew from the superintendent search by April 5.
Meanwhile, the board of education suspended the county-issued credit card of board member Carletta Fellows (District 7) after charges she made to Verizon, Washington Gas, Comcast and Pepco were questioned as improper.
On April 25, board chair Verjeana Jacobs (District 5) raised the issue, touching off an hour-long debate during a meeting. Fellows claimed that the charges were justified because board members are allowed to utilize a home office for board purposes.
An internal audit found that Fellows' use of the card also included purchases at Staples and an alcohol purchase. Auditor Michelle Winston said utilities and alcohol are not permitted board expenses.
The meeting became tense when Jacobs asked Fellows to reimburse the board $529.85 for the questionable purchases. Fellows swiftly interrupted the request to question why the board chose to address the issue publicly instead of in closed session.
"You are out of order. Ms. Fellows you are out of order," Jacobs said, banging the gavel in response.
Fellows continued to talk, at one point saying, "I think this is out of order, and to me this is almost like a retaliation."
Supporters of Fellows believe she was singled out because she had supported Baker's plan, the sole board member to do so. The credit card suspension also comes after Fellows was privately censured by the board in January.
Meanwhile, the application process has started for four new BOE appointees. Interested persons must submit completed applications by May 10.
Baker will appoint three members who must have a background in one either business/finance, education or higher education management. The Prince George's County Council will make one appointment; candidates must live in the county and have a child in the public school system.
"We're going to discuss that in executive session because that's considered a personnel matter," said council Chair Andrea Harrison (District 5). "We plan to make a decision about how we're going to go about that. The applications are due May 10 and we plan to have our selections ready to go by June 1."
Meanwhile, some county residents continue to fight the law. Citizens for an Elected Board, in conjunction with the NAACP of Prince George's County and Prince Georgians for an Informed Citizenry, were scheduled to meet on May 1 to discuss strategies to reverse the measure. The coalition hopes to collect enough signatures to force a referendum.
"It's going to be hard to get the signatures, but we want to make a statement that parents need to be included," said Debbie Sell, president of Prince Georgians for an Informed Citizenry. "Citizens need to realize that we have power and this will show the delegates that they can't take us for granted."

DETROIT (AP) - It's been called one of medicine's "open secrets" - allowing patients to refuse treatment by a doctor or nurse of another race.
In the latest example, a white man with a swastika tattoo insisted a black nurse not be allowed to touch his newborn. Now two black nurses are suing the hospital, claiming it bowed to his illegal demands.
The Michigan cases are among several lawsuits filed in recent years that highlight this seldom-discussed issue, which quietly persists almost 60 years after the start of the civil rights movement.
The American Medical Association's code of ethics bars doctors from refusing to treat people based on race, gender and other criteria, but there are no specific policies for handling race-based requests from patients.

May 29, 2016
Election Day is officially a week away. However, Tuesday local students got a head start.
Students throughout the area took part in the annual "Promote the Vote" initiative, begun by Mississippi Secretary of State Eric Clark.
As part of the mock election, young people voted for candidates for Congress. At Meridian High, it's estimated that less than 40 percent of the student body took part in the voluntary effort.
Organizers say if Tuesday is any indication, voter turnout next week could be low.
Meridian High School teacher Paul Raley said there tends to be apathy among young people.
"But there's apathy in the general population," added Raley. That's where the kids learn it."
But Selena Carter, a senior at Meridian High, said voting is important.
"Because maybe someone will look at the younger kids and realize that it will make a difference and one day we will make a difference," said Carter.
Students in Alabama also took part in Tuesday's "Promote the Vote." The official Election Day is next Tuesday, Nov. 5.

|Special Olympics teams currently being organized
|Written by Carolyn Lee, The Imperial Republican
The Chase County, Neb., area may soon be home to Special Olympics teams. At a meeting Tuesday night, Sept. 10, area residents expressed interest in forming "unified" teams, which consist of youth with special needs and those without special needs.
Regional directors Julie Schwasinger and Susan Gieschen of Ogallala, Neb., presented a program to interested persons. They said Special Olympics is more than sports.
"It benefits athletes and adults, with courage, joy, respect, learning, hope, friends and attitude changes," they said.
Jason Gieschen of Ogallala, a Special Olympian, said he began participating as a freshman in bowling. Now he's playing 10 sports and sang the national anthem at one event.
"Special Olympics has opened up a whole life for me and my family," he said. "What matters is I'm accepted just for who I am. Special Olympics is more than sports. It's giving us chances, understanding, belonging and making friends. It's changed my life."

Video: Getting great sound with earbud headphones
Dave Bar has worked for Crutchfield since 1981. After a brief 23 year stint in the sales department, he now writes about home audio gear and camera equipment for Crutchfield's catalog and website. Dave has been hooked on electronics ever since putting together a 5-tube AM radio in his high school shop class, and still enjoys tinkering with stereos in his spare time. His interests include gardening, cooking, fishing, photography, and music.
More from Dave Bar
Dave, a Crutchfield audio enthusiast, tests in the Crutchfield Labs whether or not upgrading your earbuds and adding a DAC/headphone amp makes low-res music on an iPod® sound better.
You can also watch his experiment upgrading computer speakers in the Labs.
Video Transcript
Goal: Make low-res music sound better
Dave: Unfortunately, I think what a lot of people have done over the years is downloaded music at low bit rates and it's very compressed or they're listening to music over the internet like Spotify or Pandora or Rhapsody and any of those streaming services. And, you know, the music coming from those files and from that streaming is sometimes a little compromised in terms of sound quality.
Step 1: Earbuds that come with iPod®
And probably what makes it worse is the fact that a lot of people, when they get their iPod and download music to it, use the stock earbuds that come straight out of the box with the iPod. And we're not saying that these earbuds are really awful. They're not. They actually don't sound that bad, other than the fact that we had some difficulty getting them to fit in our ears.
Step 2: Step up to high-quality earbuds
But we thought "Can we make it a little better than that?" And I think we could. So one of the things that we tried first was some aftermarket headphones. These are the Klipsch Image S4i in ear headphones. And we tried them right after the stock earbuds, and all of us noticed an immediate boost in performance-much stronger bass response, the high frequencies were much clearer and easier to hear.
Step 3: Add a DAC or digital-to-analog converter
The next thing we did was use the Nuforce Icon iDo. It's an iPod amplifier for headphones with a built-in DAC that plugs digitally directly into your iPod. And what that does is it bypasses all of the made for earbuds circuitry inside your iPod the headphone amp, the DAC. And then we connected our headphones into the iDo's front headphone jack and listened again to the same music. And what we noticed this time it also added to the sense of realism to a much greater extent. We were able to hear very fine details going on in the background much more clearly than we were with the headphones plugged straight into the iPod.
So, you know, there's an easy step up path, you know, from your basic out of the box earbuds to a pair of better headphones and then to an outboard headphone amp and DAC. Not too difficult to do, but boy does it make a difference. If you have any questions about headphones or headphone amps just give us a call.

Ned Yost media session: May 17
Manager Ned Yost spoke about having a day game directly after a long night game like last night first when he met with the media this morning. Yost said he does not mind having a day game after a night game like this, especially after the one they had last night. He added it is good to get going out here early because you do not want to sit around all day waiting on a night game, dwelling on what happened the night before. In the Royals' case, the 15 inning heartbreaker suffered last night. Yost said he prefers day games over night games in general and especially on getaway days. Although this is not necessarily a getaway day for Kansas City as they stay home for the weekend, but it is for Baltimore and he said it is good for both clubs either way.
Eric Hosmer was the next topic brought up in Yost's meeting with the media. He said Hos has been really grinding through his slump and trying to stay positive, but he will relax a little bit and clear his mind with his off days today and tomorrow. He went on to say normally in these cases you just get into the cage and hammer it out, but he has been doing that, but the results are not showing in the game. Yost said basically he just is not hitting in a lot of luck right now and lining out or hitting the ball hard right at people. It will be a good chance to clear his head for a couple days and be ready to go on Saturday. Yost said it is more of a mental break for him and they do not really even want him in the cage during it. They just want him to relax and clear his head then get back after it Saturday. He said when you are struggling you are obviously not going to get back to a high average quickly, instead you just have to take it one day at a time and a lot of times simply let the game come to you instead of always trying to go out and get it and press. Yost said he has confidence Hosmer will make the adjustments and break out of his slump. He said that Hos has all the natural abilities and talent, but sometimes he is just trying to hard when a lot of times you just need to play the game.

A few months back there was a minor uproar surrounding "Islam is the light," a phrase which some people thought they heard uttered by both a talking baby doll and a children's DS game.
In a video posted late last week on YouTube, a man claims that a character in Nintendo's recently-released Wii title Punch-Out!! shouts "Allah Akbar," an Arabic phrase which translates to "God is great."
RevolutionOfCG, who describes himself as a conservative pundit in his YouTube profile, posted the clip of fighter Bald Bull and equates the character's supposed utterance of the phrase with terrorism:
Allah Akbar or God Is Great. For those of you that don't understand the implications of this. Let me put it to you this way. Virtually Every Muslim Terrorist has said this before they blew themselves up or in the case of 9-11, before they slammed into buildings…
Hailing from Istanbul Turkey, if we are to understand the implications of culture, Bald Bull is more than likely a Muslim…
Not even 8 years after 9-11 and are we going to accept this phrase in a video game Rated E for Everyone. What do the families of these heinous crimes think of this? Someone out there has to be appalled, I'm certain of that.
The narration of the video includes 9/11 footage of the second plane striking the World Trade Center. As to the phrase Allah Akbar, its Wikipedia page lists a variety of uses other than by terrorists:
This phrase is recited by Muslims in numerous different situations. For example, when they are happy or wish to express approval, when they want to praise a speaker, during battles, and even times of extreme stress or euphoria. It is also used by bombers or suicide bombers before they detonate.
The phrase is said during each stage of both obligatory prayers, which are supposed to be performed five times a day, and supererogatory prayers, which are performed at will…
That's, of course, assuming that Bald Bull actually says Allah Akbar, which is unconfirmed at this point.

WEST FRIENDSHIP, Md. (WUSA) -- A Maryland State Trooper is in serious condition after he hit a tree on I-70 eastbound at route 32 on Wednesday evening, authorities said.
According to Howard County Fire officials, Corporal Matthew Telep, who is a five-year-veteran, lost control of his cruiser and crashed into a tree near exit 80. Personnel from the Howard County Fire Department had to extricate him.
Cpl. Telep was immediately transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center.
"A motorist who called the barrack later this evening said they witnessed the crash and believed the trooper was cut off by another vehicle," Maryland State Police said in a statement.
There is no description of the car at this time.

Your skin is constantly producing new cells to replace the older cells that lie on the outer surface of the skin. As the new cells make their way to the surface from the lower layers of the skin, dead skin cells are sloughed off. In this way, skin is constantly renewing itself. With aging, the natural turnover of skin cells slows down. Dead cells cling to the surface of the skin, making it appear dull and lifeless. Olay Exfoliators boost the turnover of skin cells, removing dead cells from the skin's surface to make way for new, healthy cells. By using Olay Exfoliators once or twice each week, skin will look younger and more luminous.
The dead skin cells that adhere to the surface of the skin can trap dirt and debris, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. Olay Exfoliators gently but thoroughly remove the skin cells and residues that clog the skin. By removing these impurities, you can help your skin to become healthier and attain a more youthful appearance. Regular use of Olay Exfoliators helps the complexion appear more radiant.
Remove dull, flaky skin cells and purify the complexion with Olay Exfoliators. Skin cell turnover is stimulated and the regeneration process is boosted, leaving the complexion renewed and refreshed.
The dual-action regeneration power of Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion and Peel System will leave your skin visibly softer and smoother. First cover clean, dry skin with a layer of derma-crystals and massage in for up to one minute. Then apply the activator serum. The chemical reaction will produce a warming sensation as this powerful product gets to work. As you rinse off the remaining crystals, you will notice that your skin tone is improved. With regular use, fine lines are erased and the skin is resurfaced.
All the power of a mini-professional treatment in a tube. Olay Regenerist Daily Thermal Mini-Peel renews and rejuvenates the skin. Massage a quarter-sized amount of this highly-effective formula over wet skin. As you use it, the product will become warm to the touch. Rinse off with water to expose polished, hydrated skin. This potent peel is kind enough to be used as part of your daily beauty regimen.
Combination or oily skin will benefit from regular cleansing with Olay Definity Pore Redefining Scrub. Salicylic acid gently exfoliates the skin, removing excess oil and refining the pores. Aloe vera and sage leaf extract have an antibacterial action which soothes and heals the skin. The creamy lather from this gentle scrub purifies the skin without stripping away the natural protective oils.

Frustrating....from NBC Sports ... hope this isn't another Ras-I, Tate, situation:
The Patriots drafted wide receivers Aaron Dobson and Josh Boyce in hopes of vertically stretching the field on offense, but they'll have to wait a little bit longer to see Boyce in action on the field.
Boyce is not taking part in on-field work at this weekend's rookie minicamp because of a broken bone in his foot. Boyce is believed to have suffered the injury before the combine and had surgery after running a 4.38 for NFL scouts in Indianapolis.
Field Yates of ESPNBoston.com reports that Boyce termed his status "day-to-day" for a return to a full workload, a timeline that should have him ready to go in plenty of time for training camp this August. Once Boyce is healthy, it is expected that he and Dobson will battle for a starting role alongside Danny Amendola in the Patriots' base offensive set.

It was Paul Zammit, director of horticulture at the Toronto Botanical Garden, who first inspired me to include herbs among the blooms and foliage I use in my containers. They're fragrant when you brush past them and useful when you need a few sprigs here and there for a meal. Because space can be an issue here in the city, many gardeners take this concept a step further and mix fruit, vegetables and edible flowers in with their favourite potted blooms.
If you've gotten creative mixing edibles and ornamentals in pots, hopefully you've captured them in photos. Local website Toronto Balconies Bloom has launched a new contest called 2011 Edible Container Photo Show. The entry criteria is on the website and you don't have to live in Toronto to enter. There are a number of garden-related prizes to be won. Good luck and come back to let us know if you're a winner!
Here are a couple of videos we have of Paul working his magic with pots. Maybe they'll inspire you to enter the contest:

Employer-Sponsored Health Benefits for Retirees Dying Out
Employees are managing expectations in retirement as employers yank back health benefits for retirees.
Data from the Employee Benefits Research Institute showed that in 1997, 10.2 percent of private-sector employers provided health insurance to Medicare-eligible retirees and that 11.3 percent provided such coverage to early retirees. As of last year, those numbers fell to 6.1 percent and 6.7 percent respectively.
Health insurance in retirement also has been on the decline for local-government employers with at least 10,000 workers: 87.6 percent of these employers gave early retirees insurance benefits in 1997, while 81 percent provided coverage to Medicare-eligible retirees. Those numbers slipped to 77.6 percent and 67.3 percent, respectively.
Accordingly, workers are feeling a little less confident about the prospect of getting health benefits once they've stopped working.
EBRI's analysis of 35.7 million wage and salary workers 45 to 64 in 1997 and 52.7 million in 2010 showed that while 45 percent of these workers expected coverage in 1997, the percentage declined to 32 percent in 2010.
"The data show that workers are still more likely to expect retiree health benefits than retirees are actually likely to have those benefits, but the expectations gap is closing," said Paul Fronstin, head of health benefits research at EBRI.
A major motivator behind employers' decision to stop providing health care benefits is tied to accounting measures dating back to 1990 for private-sector employers, requiring them to account for the cost of post-retirement benefits aside from pensions. Many employers realized for the first time how much they were shelling out to provide coverage to retirees.
Among those who continue to provide benefits, most have decided to raise premiums that retirees must pay for their coverage, restrict eligibility for new retirees or limit benefits, according to EBRI.

Sociology & Anthropology
Sociology Degree Requirements
Although it is a diverse field, sociology is united in:
- its acknowledgment that race, gender, and class deeply affect our perceptions and lived experiences,
- its focus on inter-group comparisons, and
- recognition of the sociological imagination as the foundation of the discipline.
The sociology major is designed to help students critically examine the link between our daily experiences and larger social structures. Though we specialize in social patterns and processes in the United States, we connect these issues to larger transnational phenomena.
Students seeking a major in Sociology will complete the requirements for a BA degree. The major in Sociology is built around a cumulative curriculum with courses at four different levels. 100-level courses are introductory, and serve as prerequisites for most of the courses at the 200-level or above. Courses at the 200-level include courses required of all sociology majors as well as courses which serve a broad audience of majors and non-majors. Courses at the 300 and 400-level are primarily for sociology majors and minors or other students with a particular interest in the discipline. In general, students should take at least two other courses in sociology and anthropology before taking 300 or 400-level courses.
In order to ensure that they gain skills in qualitative research, students are required to take a course which includes a qualitative research component, one of 34-234, 34-264, 34-314. Courses at the 900-level are designed for senior sociology majors, but others may enroll in these courses with the permission of the instructor. Skills are built at each level of the curriculum. Majors considering graduate school or careers in Social Work or Public Health are strongly encouraged to register for an Academic Internship.
